Leicester on the Hunt to Outfox Fulham

Both these sides head into this weekend’s clash off the back of turbulent seasons so far in the top-flight while a positive result on Saturday would certainly give fans something to cheer about.

Since the untimely death of their beloved chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha following a Premier League match with West Ham in October, Leicester City have won just six games out of 19 played in the division.

Coupled with a third-round exit in the FA Cup at the hands of Newport County it was enough to see Foxes boss Claude Puel relieved of his duties following their humiliating 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace a fortnight ago. New manager Brendan Rodger’s first game out saw his side lose 2-1 at 7th placed Watford.

Fulham find themselves down in 19th place on the table and are embroiled in a real relegation scrap, already 10 points adrift of safety. It seems the London club have not learned much during their four-year hiatus from England’s top-flight. As was the case during their doomed 2013-14 campaign, the Cottagers are onto their third managerial appointment of the season following the sackings of Slovisa Jokanovic in November and then the subsequent departure of Claudio Ranieri – Premier League winner with Leicester City in 2015/16 – and a man who no doubt would have been relishing his Foxes return on Saturday.

Former midfielder Scott Parker will continue to take charge of the club until the end of the season as he did in the 2-1 derby defeat against Chelsea last time out.

Leicester have won just one of their previous nine meetings with the Cottagers in all competitions. Wes Morgan scored the opening goal in a thrilling League Cup encounter back in October 2013 that saw the Foxes edge Fulham 4-3 at home in what was a real see-saw battle.

Fulham have not lost to Leicester City in the league since April 1983 – drawing three and winning two of their five match-ups in the Premier League.

James Maddison’s second-half equaliser for the visitors cancelled out Aboubakar Kamara’s first-half goal as the pair drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture at Craven Cottage in December, earning a share of the spoils.
