Relegation-threatened Leicester City welcome European hopefuls Fulham to the King Power Stadium for a Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.
Leicester City:
Relegation-threatened Leicester City face a crucial test when they welcome European hopefuls Fulham to the King Power Stadium on Saturday. Despite a promising start under Ruud van Nistelrooy, the Foxes have failed to win any of their last seven Premier League matches, suffering six consecutive defeats, often conceding multiple goals. Frustration grew on Wednesday night as Leicester endured a third straight home defeat without scoring, a 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace. Sitting 19th in the table, Leicester are only two points adrift of safety and will be desperate to reverse their fortunes. However, their recent home record against Fulham doesn’t inspire confidence, with the Cottagers having won their last two visits to the King Power Stadium.
Fulham:
Fulham’s impressive unbeaten run came to an end on Tuesday night with a 3-2 defeat to West Ham United. Despite a resilient performance and two assists from Antonee Robinson, the Cottagers couldn’t find an equalizer and suffered their first loss since November. Marco Silva's side currently sits 10th in the table, just five points behind the top seven and only seven behind the coveted fifth spot. Fulham have been solid on the road, scoring in each of their last nine Premier League away games. With a strong away record against Leicester, where they’ve won six of their last 11 meetings, Fulham will fancy their chances of bouncing back and claiming all three points at the King Power.
