Leicester Team News: Woyo Coulibaly could be involved
Much like Fulham, Ruud van Nistelrooy has confirmed that Leicester City have no fresh injury concerns for this one with key men Mads Hermansen, Ricardo Pereira, Wilfred Ndidi and Abdul Fatawu remaining unavailable for this weekend.
Woyo Coulibaly joined from Serie A side Parma for a fee believed to be in the region of £3 million this week and he could be involved if he can get a work permit in time for the clash.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Stolarczyk; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Winks, Soumare; Buonanotte, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy
Unavailable: Hermansen (Injured), Pereira (Injured), Ndidi (Injured), Fatawu (Injured)
Questionable: Coulibaly (Ineligible)
Fulham Team News: Nothing new
In his pre-match press conference ahead of their trip north to face Leicester, Marco Silva has confirmed that Fulham have no fresh injury concerns and they also have no new suspension issues.
Andreas Pereira remains the subject of interest from the Brazilian Serie A, whilst key men on the flanks, full-back Kenny Tete and winger Reiss Nelson, remain unavailable for this weekend.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Pereira, Lukic; Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Traore; Jimenez
Unavailable: Tete (Injured), Nelson (Injured)
Questionable: Berge (Injured)
Leicester vs Fulham Prediction
Leicester City earned a much-needed potentially confidence boosting win as they hammered Championship side Queens Park Rangers by six goals to two in the third round of the FA Cup last weekend but the Foxes then suffered yet another loss in midweek with second-half goals by Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi earning Crystal Palace a 2-0 win at the King Power Stadium. They now face a Fulham side that were left frustrated by a 3-2 loss to West Ham United at the London Stadium in midweek despite a brace of accidental goals from Alex Iwobi. Marco Silva’s Cottagers are still chasing a top seven or eight finish and will be expected to win this one quite comfortably.
