Prediction: Match to end in 1-1 draw
Best Odds: 5/1
Fulham and Leicester City will lock horns with each other in the Premier League next week. The match between the Cottagers and the Foxes will be held at Craven Cottage in London and is scheduled to kick off next Monday at 3pm UK time.
Fulham
Fulham are having a wonderful season and look set to finish in the top half of the Premier League table. Not many would have expected the Cottagers to do as well as they have done so far and would have tipped them to go back down to the Championship. However, under manager Marco Silva, the London club have gone from strength to strength.
The Cottagers are 10th in the Premier League table at the moment with 45 points from 34 matches. Fulham are as many as 15 points above the relegation zone and nine points behind London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who are currently sixth in the standings and occupy the final European qualification spot.
Fulham will head into the Premier League match against Leicester City at Craven Cottage in London next week on the back of a 1-0 loss at the hands of Liverpool away from home at Anfield in the league. It came after a 2-1 defeat to defending champions Manchester City in London in the Premier League and followed a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa at Villa Park in the league.
Team News:
Fulham are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. The Cottagers will have Carlos Vinicius leading the line. Wilson, Cairney and Willian will be the three attacking players behind him.
Leicester City
Leicester City were challenging for the UEFA Champions League places in the Premier League table not so long ago, but there is a distinct possibility that they could get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season. Things are dire for the former Premier League champions now.
The Foxes are as low as 16th in the Premier League table at the moment with 30 points from 34 matches. Leicester are level on points with third-from-bottom Nottingham Forest and are in real trouble with just four rounds of matches left this campaign.
Leicester will head into the Premier League match against Fulham at Craven Cottage in London next week on the back of a 2-2 draw with Everton at the King Power Stadium in the league. It came after a 1-1 draw with Leeds United away from home at Elland Road in the Premier League and followed a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at home in the league.
Team News:
Leicester City are likely to line up in a 4-3-3 formation against Fulham. Jamie Vardy will lead the line for the Foxes and will have James Maddison and Harvey Barnes on either flank.
Key Factors to Consider
- Fulham have lost their last 3 Premier League matches.
- Leicester City are unbeaten in their last 3 Premier League matches.
- Fulham have won 13 Premier League games.
- Leicester City have lost 20 Premier League matches.
- Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored 11 goals and given 1 assist in 21 Premier League games.
Conclusion
Leicester City are struggling at the moment, and so are Fulham. While the Cottagers have been the better team this season, their recent form has not been great. Leicester, who are in danger of getting relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season, will fancy their chances of at least picking up a point at Craven Cottage in London, and the chances are that they will manage to eke out a point.
