Leicester v Fulham

Leicester vs Fulham Preview

Leicester City will be desperate to halt a miserable six-match losing streak in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon when they play host to Fulham at their King Power Stadium which has left The Foxes sitting second from bottom in the table and in the relegation zone ahead of this weekend's fixtures.

Fulham's solid if not stubborn unbeaten run of eight games in the domestic top flight finally came to an end in midweek when The Cottagers suffered a 3-2 defeat away from home at West Ham but the visitors will still fancy their chances against a poor looking Leicester City outfit this Saturday.

It has been a long and tough campaign already in the Premier League so far this season for Leicester City but their situation has worsened in recent weeks as The Foxes have slumped to six defeats on the trot, leaving the upcoming hosts firmly in the relegation zone.

Recent losses at home to the likes of Wolves 3-0, Manchester City 2-0 and Crystal Palace 2-0 suggest this upcoming clash against Fulham could be another tough assignment for Ruud van Nistelrooij's side this Saturday evening, especially as The Foxes have now managed to capture just one win from their previous 13 games overall, which includes being handed 10 defeats in the process.

Fulham will also be keen to return to winning ways after being dealt a 3-2 loss away from home at West Ham in midweek as The Cottagers look to keep in touch with the teams sitting above them in the top half of the table and also being seven points behind fifth placed Chelsea.

The London club had previously collected important wins against Brighton 3-1 at home along with an impressive 2-1 local derby win away from home at Chelsea as well as being involved in no fewer than six draws within their previous eight-game unbeaten sequence.

Interestingly, five of the six recent stalemates had produced score-draws with both teams hitting the back of the net, and the bigger picture shows Fulham have been handed just two losses in their previous 13 games overall which came in the form of defeats to Wolves 4-1 and the aforementioned 3-2 loss at West Ham.

Results away from home have also produced fairly consistent returns for Marco Silva's side as The Cottagers have suffered just three losses in their last 13 outings on the road overall in the Premier League, so the visitors perhaps look the better equipped to take the spoils at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester City v Fulham Verdict
