Both Leicester and Fulham head into their matchweek 22 meeting at King Power Stadium fresh off a midweek defeat, but that's about all they have in common as of late.

Fulham's loss to West Ham (and debuting manager Graham Potter) was the Cottagers' first defeat in nine Premier League games (2W-6D-1L), dating back to Nov. 23. Marco Silva's side (30 points - 10th) remains in the thick of the top-half race, with the European places just five points above and the relegation zone 14 points below. Life is pretty good in west London, especially now that striker Raul Jimenez is back amongst the goals on a regular basis (8 on the season; 5 in his last 8 appearances - all competitions).
2025 (and most of the back half of 2024) has been anything but jovial for Leicester, as the Foxes have just three PL wins this season and have lost six straight by a combined margin of 16-2. Furthermore, Leicester have scored multiple goals in a PL game just three times this season (2W-2D-0L). Typically, when you pair a bottom-three defensive record (46 goals conceded in 21 games) with the fifth-worst attack in the league (23 in 21), you have a bona fide relegation candidate, and that's what Leicester are (14 points - 19th), though two points is currently all that separates them from 17th-place Wolves.
OUT: Mads Hermansen (groin), Wilfred Ndidi (thigh), Ricardo Pereira (thigh), Abdul Fatawu (knee - out for season) | QUESTIONABLE: Woyo Coulibaly (incoming transfer)
OUT: Reiss Nelson (hamstring), Kenny Tete (knee)
Fulham's six recent draws don't seem so impressive until you see that four of the six came against Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Bournemouth, and West Ham were absurdly lucky to score three goals on four shots. The Cottagers are due for an offensive explosion. Leicester 1-3 Fulham.
