There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Leicester City leading Fulham by 14 points.

Insights:
  • Leicester City haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
  • Fulham have yet to win a game away.

The hosts Leicester saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Europa League. That game was an away game at Sporting Braga, so at least Leicester are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Leicester City form and stats

Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Leicester City are 2-0-2 (wins-draw-losses).

Leicester travelled for their previous game, a trip to Sporting Braga that ended 3-3. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Liverpool (0-3).

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The hometeam coach B. Rodgers made a successful contribution in the game against Sporting Braga, bringing on Jamie Vardy who scored the equalizer in the 3-3 draw.

There will be little rest for Leicester after this match as they are travelling to Zorya for a Europa League game in only three days.

Leicester are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. Leicester have conceded 6 from these games.

Fulham form and stats

0-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Fulham in their Premier League matches away.

The manager S. Parker was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Craven Cottage. Fulham suffered a 2-3 loss to Everton (placed 6th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against West Ham United wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

The visiting Fulham have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 4 games. Fulham struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 7 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Leicester, two draws and two wins for Fulham. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: one game.
