Ahead of Saturday’s clash, we have the Leicester vs Fulham preview, prediction, latest team news and predicted lineups.
Leicester vs Fulham Preview
After picking up four points from his opening two games as Leicester City manager in early December, Ruud Van Nistelrooy has failed to kick on in the Premier League.
The Foxes have lost every league game since, suffering six consecutive defeats and scoring just two goals in the process.
This poor run of form has seen the 2015/16 Premier League champions drop to 19th in the table and are looking for a miracle to stay in the league.
As for Fulham, the 2024/25 Premier League campaign has been a rather successful one, as the Cottagers sit 10th in the league and have been one of the surprise packages.
Defeat to West Ham in their latest fixture ended a run of eight matches without defeat, however, Fulham have drawn six of these.
Marco Silva’s side already boast a victory over Leicester this season, winning 2-1 in the reverse fixture thanks to goals from Emile Smith-Rowe and Alex Iwobi.
Leicester vs Fulham Team News
Ruud Van Nistelrooy will still be missing a list of players, as Mads Hermansen, Wilfred Ndidi, Abdul Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira all remain sidelined through injury.
The Foxes have strengthened in the January window, signing Woyo Coulibaly from Parma and the full-back could feature against Fulham if the key documents are completed.
Marco Silva will be without Kenny Tete and Reiss Nelson as the duo both recover from injury and Sander Berge may feature after recovering from an ankle injury.
The Norwegian has missed the last five matches through injury but could find it difficult to replace the in-form Andreas Pereira.
Leicester vs Fulham Predicted Lineups
Leicester: Stolarczyk; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Winks, Soumare; Ayew, Buonanotte, McAteer; Vardy
Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Pereira, Lukic; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez
Leicester vs Fulham Prediction
The Foxes have struggled to find the form that will maintain their Premier League status and are huge underdogs for this match on UK betting sites.
With that in mind, we expect the visitors to pick up three points at the King Power Stadium and put further pressure on Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Prediction: Leicester 1-3 Fulham
