Leicester City vs Fulham predictions: Cottagers can claim entertaining victory
&w=707&quality=100)
- Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has had 16 shots without scoring in his last three home games
- Fulham have scored at least twice in five of their last six Premier League matches
- Recommended bet: Fulham to win & both teams to score
Leicester's Premier League struggles continued with a 2-0 midweek home defeat to Crystal Palace and Foxes boss Ruud van Nistelrooy is desperate to stop the rot against Fulham.
His side have been beaten to nil by Wolves, Manchester City and Palace in their last three home games despite creating plenty of chances.
Fulham have drawn nine of their 21 league fixtures this season but Marco Silva's men will be targeting maximum points when they travel to second-bottom Leicester.
Team news
Leicester City are missing the injured Abdul Fatawu, Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira and Mads Hermansen. Striker Odsonne Edouard is available after missing the midweek defeat to parent club Crystal Palace.
Fulham midfielder Sander Berge is a doubt and Reiss Nelson and Kenny Tete remain sidelined.
The stats
Leicester have lost their last six Premier League matches.
The Foxes have been beaten to nil in each of their last three home league games.
Leicester have scored only two first-half goals in their last eight league fixtures.
Fulham have drawn six of their last nine league matches.
Both teams have scored in 13 of the Cottagers' last 15 league games.
Seven of Raul Jimenez's 10 goals for Fulham this season were the opening goal of the game.

Prediction
Ruud van Nistelrooy was one of the most ruthless finishers in Premier League history and he needs his Leicester forwards to sharpen up in front of goal.
The Foxes hit the woodwork twice in their 2-0 home defeat to Manchester City and had 21 shots to Crystal Palace's nine in Wednesday's loss by the same scoreline.
Leicester should be confident of breaking their home goal drought against Fulham, who lost 3-2 at West Ham earlier this week, but the Cottagers have the attacking class to earn an entertaining win.
There have been goals at both ends in 13 of Fulham's last 15 league matches and they thumped Watford 4-1 with a much-changed team in last week's FA Cup third-round tie.
Leicester took out their frustration against QPR, beating the Championship side 6-2, but their defence has struggled in the top flight.
Confidence must be low after six straight league defeats and, while Fulham's progress has been hampered by too many draws, Saturday's fixture looks a great opportunity for the Cottagers to bank three points.
