The Premier League is back in action this week with a new set of games, starting on Monday at Craven Cottage when Fulham squares off against a struggling Leicester City team.
Leicester City vs. Fulham Preview
The inconsistent play of Fulham has kept them in 10th position in the Premier League standings so far this year. The Cottagers’ previous game ended in a 1-0 loss to Liverpool, and they will need to win this weekend.
Leicester City, on the other hand, is currently in 16th place in the league standings and has not played well thus far. The Foxes must step it up in this match after being held to a disappointing 2-2 stalemate by Everton last week.
Leicester City vs. Fulham Key Numbers and Head-to-Head
- With 87 games played between the two teams, Fulham has a strong record against Leicester City and has won 41 of them, compared to Leicester City’s 17 victories.
- For the first time since the 2003–04 campaign, Fulham could defeat Leicester City twice in the Premier League with a close 1-0 victory in the rematch.
- In 2021, Leicester City defeated Fulham 2-0 on the road in the Premier League; they have never previously done so in the history of their top-flight campaign.
- Only two of Leicester City’s last 14 Premier League away games against clubs from London have been in victories, with Brentford in 2021 marking the last time they did so by a score of 2-1.

Prediction for Fulham vs. Leicester City
Recently, Fulham has not been at their best, and they are in desperate need of a turnaround. Aleksandar Mitrovic is currently serving a suspension, thus Andreas Pereira and Carlos Vinicius will need to perform better in this match.
This season, Leicester City has fallen short of expectations and is perilously near to the relegation zone. This match could end in a draw because both teams currently have problems to fix.
Fulham 2-2 Leicester City is the prediction.
