Leicester City will aim to end a six-game losing streak in the Premier League on Saturday when they host Fulham at the King Power Stadium.
The Foxes suffered another embarrassing defeat against Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening, with their clinical opponents punishing them humiliatingly. The pressure is already mounting on new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has overseen West Ham United’s only solitary Premier League win after a shock 3-1 first-leg win.
Fulham could push Leicester further into crisis on Saturday, although they tasted their first defeat since late November when they travel to West Ham on Tuesday. Alex Iwobi’s brace failed to earn the Cottagers a point as they suffered a 3-2 defeat during Graham Potter’s first league match in charge of the Irons.

Leicester’s squad at the start of the season has been and injuries have added to their problems. Abdul Fatawu’s season-ending ACL tear has seen them struggle for creativity, while the absence of the influential Mads Hermansen between the sticks has proved costly.
The goalkeeper is missing for Saturday and Jakub Stolarczyk will continue to guard the net. Wilfried Ndidi is unavailable in midfield and Ricardo Pereira is absent at right-back, both players who could add genuine quality to the Leicester squad.
Leicester Predicted Lineup vs Fulham (4-2-3-1): Stolarczyk; Justin, Fess, Westergaard, Christiansen; Soumre, Winks; Buonanotte, Al Khanos, Mavididi; Verdi.
Fulham could welcome Sander Berge back into their matchday squad for Saturday’s trip to the East Midlands, with the midfielder missing since before Christmas with an ankle injury. He may feature in some capacity in King Power.
However, Reece Nelson will not be part of the touring side. He remains out of action with a hamstring injury and joins Kenny Tate in the treatment room, with the latter unlikely to return until late March at the earliest. That means Timothée Castagne will line up on the right against his former side.
Fulham Predicted Lineup Against Leicester (4-2-3-1): take; Castagne, Anderson, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Pereira; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez.
Leicester certainly created chances against Palace midweek but lacked the ruthlessness to take them. Despite boasting an xG tally of 1.7, they simply drew, and their struggles in the final third have been a consistent issue this season.
The Foxes have also been suspect defensively, conceding two or more in 11 of their previous 12 matches. Fulham aren’t the division’s most prolific scorers but will fancy their chances of unpicking the Leicester backline on more than one occasion.
