History of the Fulham v Leicester City fixture

Fulham prepare to entertain Leicester City at Loftus Road (temporary) on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cottagers are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 5 of the 35 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Loftus Road (temporary) 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.

The away form of Leicester is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Foxes have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

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.
