Leicester vs Fulham: Preview, predictions and lineups

  • Struggling Leicester face visit from Fulham in the Premier League
  • Foxes suffered sixth straight Premier League defeat midweek

Leicester City are aiming to end their six-game losing run in the Premier League on Saturday when they host Fulham at King Power Stadium.

The Foxes endured another miserable defeat against Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening, with their profligacy punished by their clinical opponents. The pressure is already rising on new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has overseen just a solitary Premier League victory after a fortuitous 3-1 win over West Ham United on his debut.

Fulham could well push Leicester further into crisis on Saturday.

Fulham team news

Fulham could welcome Sander Berge back to their matchday squad for Saturday’s trip to the East Midlands, with the midfielder having been missing since before Christmas with an ankle injury. He could feature in some capacity at King Power.

Reiss Nelson will not be part of the travelling party, however. He remains out of action with a hamstring injury and is joined by Kenny Tete in the treatment room, with the latter unlikely to return until the end of March at the earliest. That means Timothy Castagne will line up at right-back against his former side.
