- Venue: King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Fulham will desperately aim to get their European chase back on track when they visit relegation-threatened Leicester at the King Power Stadium this Saturday.
Just four days after delivering an outstanding attacking display to crush Queens Park Rangers 6-2 in the FA Cup, the Foxes were brought back down to earth as Crystal Palace handed them a heartbreaking 2-0 defeat over the weekend, further deepening their struggles in the Premier League. With just 14 points collected across 21 league matches, Leicester City are only better than rock-bottom Southampton on points, but they stil hold a glimmer of hope as they trail Ipswich, who occupy the last safe spot, by only two points.
Unlike their previous seasons, Fulham are shining domestically this year and showing serious ambitions for European competition, having accumulated a commendable 30 points, leaving them just five points behind Manchester City in fifth place. Unfortunately, the Cottagers' European hopes took a blow on Tuesday evening as they succumbed to a 2-3 drubbing at the hands of West Ham in London, even thugh they dominated in every statistical parameter.
Leicester City vs Fulham Betting Tips: FULHAM TO WIN
There is no doubt that Fulham inspires much more confidence, which is why we are backing them to come out on the winning side of their clash with a relegation-threatened Leicester side. Heading into Saturday's action with six consecutive league defeats and a dreadful goal difference of 2-16, the Foxes appear completely shattered, and it seems their downward spiral shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Fulham are experiencing a slight dip in form, having gone three games without a win, but they will aim to get back on track here as they have proven to be the superior side in recent clashes with Leicester, winning four of the last five, including a 2-1 victory in this season's reverse fixture. Visiting the Foxes in a chaotic state, Fulham won't have a better chance than this to get their European hopes back on track with a comfortable win here.

Leicester City team news
Ricardo Pereira, Wilfred Ndidi, Issahaku Fatawu, Odsonne Edouard, and first-choice goalkeeper Mads Hermansen have all been ruled out of Leicester’s squad for the clash with Fulham.
Disappointed by his team's dreadful performance in the heartbreaking 0-2 home defeat to Crystal Palace in midweek action, coach Ruud van Nistelrooy is almost certain to consider making changes to his lineup.
