Fulham is aiming to finally put a stop in their losing run when they meet with Leicester City, as they are now in a run of three straight losses. Leicester on the other hand sees this match as a crucial match for them. A failure to win in this match might cost Leicester to drop in the relegation zone. Coming in this match, these two teams are both winless, which makes them hungry to win this game. Fulham suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool, while Leicester is from a 2-2 draw against Everton.

Additionally, the hosts were the ones who won on their previous match by a narrow 1-0 win. One of the reasons why they aim a win here, is to get a double over for the first time since the 2003-04 season. The visitors on the other hand are no better, especially when playing on the road. From their last 14 league matches on the road, they managed to win only two matches. However, they were able to win their last away game against the hosts in a 2-0 margin.
