Leicester City
In their last outing, Leicester City secured a 2-1 victory against Aston Villa. This win marked their third consecutive victory in the Premier League, moving them up to 8th in the standings. The Foxes have been solid defensively, conceding just two goals in their last three matches, and will look to maintain this form against Fulham.
Midfielder James Maddison is suspended for this game.
- Leicester City has won 4 of their last 5 home matches in the Premier League.
- They have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 home games.
- The number "2" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 4 of Leicester's last 6 home matches.
Fulham
Fulham comes into this match after a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United. The Cottagers have been inconsistent away from home, managing just one win in their last five away fixtures. They currently sit in 14th place, and a win against Leicester could help them climb the table.
- Fulham has not won in regular time in their last three away matches in the Premier League (2 draws, 1 loss).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 4 of Fulham's last 6 away games in this tournament.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 3 of Fulham's last 5 away matches in the Premier League.
Leicester City vs. Fulham: Match Prediction
Leicester City has shown strong form at home and will be confident of extending their winning streak. Fulham, on the other hand, has struggled on the road and will need to improve their defensive solidity to stand a chance. Given Leicester's current form and Fulham's away struggles, my prediction: Leicester City to win
