History of the Fulham v Leicester City fixture

Leicester face a trip to Fulham at Loftus Road (temporary) on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 21 and win only 5 of the 35 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in April 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Fulham have been playing quite well at home, winning 3, drawing 2, and losing just 1. A generous 11 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Fulham's 11 points from 6 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 7th position. Leicester are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 7 matches.
