The pressure is mounting on Leicester City if they are to enhance their survival prospects in the Premier League this season.

A miserable festive period since the start of December has seen the Foxes drop into the relegation places, and they will need to begin putting a sequence of victories together to move out of the drop zone.

Fulham will also be chasing a response when they return to action this weekend after their eight-game unbeaten sequence was ended at West Ham on Wednesday.

Fulham boasts the obvious angle based on head-to-head meetings between the sides. The Cottagers have won each of their last three against the Foxes, which includes a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture in August. Leicester are without a home win against Fulham since a 3-1 success in March 2019.

Fulham Team News

Marco Silva will be without just one first-team player as the Cottagers chase a return to form. Kenny Tete has been ruled out for the next three months due to a knee injury.

Leicester vs. Fulham Picks

This is a huge fixture in the context of Leicester City’s survival bid in the Premier League. However, Fulham have been a tough team to beat throughout the season, and that has been evidenced following an eight-game unbeaten sequence.

But, draws over that period could give weight to the argument that the points being shared may be a viable option when making picks on Saturday.
