Fulham and Leicester both look for their first win of the season as they meet at Craven Cottage.
Victory would see either team pick up their first league win of the campaign.
Team News
Fulham have no fresh injury concerns after their opening loss at Manchester United.
Leicester could be without Luke Thomas if he fails a late fitness test, having missed their opening 1-1 draw against Tottenham due to injury.
Jakub Stolarczyk, Patson Daka (both ankle) and Conor Coady (hamstring) remain sidelined.
When is Kick-Off?
Fulham meet Leicester at Craven Cottage on Saturday 24 August at 3pm BST, untelevised live in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Fulham are unbeaten in four of their last six meetings against Leicester (W3, D1, L2).
- Leicester have won one of their last five top-flight visits to Fulham (W1, D2, L2).
- Out of Leicester’s last four Premier League goalscorers against Fulham, only James Justin remains at the club.
- Antonee Robinson made more tackles than any other Fulham player in their opening defeat at Man Utd (8).
- Wilfried Ndidi had more touches than any other Leicester player in their opening game against Tottenham (58).
Prediction
Fulham simply were unlucky to lose at Man Utd because they were dangerous on the counter-attack, yet their end product issues of last season do still seem to be an issue but there were a lot of positives to build on coming into this game.
Leicester meanwhile were impressively resilient and well organised defensively against Tottenham, with a clinical equaliser which shows that they should be tough to break down if let Fulham do the attacking here.
I though don’t feel that this will be a particular classic and am going for a draw.
Prediction: Fulham 1-1 Leicester
Result: Fulham 2-1 Leicester
