Match preview

Leicester were unlucky not to take anything from their clash with Liverpool last week and they can get immediate compensation when they host Fulham.

The Foxes looked to have turned a corner just before the World Cup break with six wins from seven games in all competitions but back-to-back losses since the season resumed have set them back once again.

However, they have won three of their last five meetings with Fulham and can extend that good record against the Cottagers.

Marco Silva’s side have failed to convince defensively at times this season and were somewhat fortunate in their two wins since the World Cup, beating the nine-men of Crystal Palace and bottom side Southampton with a late goal.

Fulham have lost four of their eight games on the road this season and Leicester have a slight edge on paper with their quality players fancied to swing this game in their favour.

Key stat

Leicester have won three of the last five meetings between these two teams
