Fulham v Stoke line-ups: Whites debuts, Potters duo out, Sidwell starts

On-loan goalkeeper Joe Lewis is handed his Fulham debut for the League Cup third-round tie against Stoke City at Craven Cottage.

As expected, Whites boss Kit Symons has made changes for the game, leaving out the likes of Jamie O’Hara and Tom Cairney. [phone][/phone]
