Meulensteen was appointed as Fulham's head coach earlier this month in a move designed to ease pressure on the under-fire Jol.
Fulham have made a poor start to the Premier League season and sit 18th after just three wins in their first 11 matches.
But new Fulham owner Shahid Khan is hoping the expertise of Meulensteen – a coach at Manchester United between 2001 and 2006 and then Alex Ferguson's assistant at Old Trafford from 2007 to 2013 – can help Jol as he seeks an upturn in fortunes.
A priority for the Dutch duo will be improving Fulham's leaky defence as the Craven Cottage outfit have shipped 11 goals in their last three matches.
Several of Fulham's players were involved in international action over the last week, and Greece captain Giorgos Karagounis led his side to victory in their FIFA World Cup play-off against Romania.
Sweden's Alexander Kacaniklic was not so lucky, though, as his side lost 4-2 on aggregate to Portugal.
Swansea's Wilfried Bony had reason to celebrate during the international break as his Ivory Coast side booked their spot in Brazil next year with an aggregate win over Senegal.
They have not won in over a month and will enter Saturday's fixture with just two triumphs since September 22.
