Fulham come into the game on the back of a narrow 1-0 loss at Liverpool in the Premier League on Wednesday night. The only goal of the match was scored in the 39th minute from the penalty spot and Fulham were unhappy with the decision. However, they failed to do enough to get back into the game in the second half.
The loss at Liverpool means Fulham have lost their last 3 fixtures, all of which have come in the Premier League. There have been additional defeats at Aston Villa and at home against Manchester City.
Trends show Fulham have won only 2 of their 10 most recent matches in all competition. They have lost 8 of those 10 games and have lost 7 of their last 9 matches in the Premier League.
Fulham have recorded just 1 win from their 5 most recent home league fixtures and have lost 3 of their last 4 matches on home soil. Fulham have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 5 home Premier League games.
Leicester City travel to Craven Cottage having been held to a 2-2 draw at home by fellow relegation candidates, Everton. The Foxes fell a goal behind after only 15 minutes but responded well and scored two goals of their own before the interval. Everton struck back early in the second half and a draw was probably a fair result.
Trends show Leicester City have recoded just a single victory from their 13 most recent fixtures in all competitions. They have won just 1 of their last 12 Premier League games but are undefeated in their last 3 league matches, including a win at home over Wolves plus a 1-1 draw at Leeds United.
Leicester City have been poor defensively in recent Premier League games, conceding goals in each of their last 19 matches.
Away form in the league shows Leicester City have recorded only 1 win from their last 9 games on the road.
Looking ahead to the team news and Fulham continue without suspended striker Aleksandar Mitrovic. Andreas Pereira and Tim Ream are out for the remainder of the season and there are doubts over the fitness of Layvin Kurzawa.
Leicester City are without the injured duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Jannik Vestergaard. Jonny Evans, Ricardo Pereira, and Ryan Bertrand are doubts.
Leicester City are in desperate need of a win near the foot of the table but they might have to wait another week. Fulham may not have won many games recently but they have competed well against both Manchester City and Liverpool.
We expect Fulham to come out on top in this game, with both teams scoring.
