The Premier League will continue its action with another interesting matchup as Leicester City welcome Fulham to the King Power Stadium on Saturday at noon. Will the Foxes avoid their seventh defeat on the bounce, or will the Cottagers take confidence from the game?

After Ruud Van Nistelrooy started his managerial reign at the club with four points from his first two matches in a row, the Dutch manager has since then lost six Premier League games in a row, with the Foxes now finding themselves in the relegation zone. The Foxes were beaten 2-0 in their midweek clash with Crystal Palace on their home soil, with the result now becoming a worrying performance for their supporting fans. Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s men have failed to score in four of their last six league matches. Currently, the Foxes have dropped to 19th in the league standings with 14 points from 21 games, three points to bounce away from the relegation zone.
Under pressure, Van Nistelrooy has only registered one league home game since his appointment for the managerial role while losing his last three home games in a row.

Fulham, after an incredible run of form, saw their nine-match unbeaten run across all competitions come to an end on Tuesday night, and they will now be hoping to bounce back from the defeat.

However, Marco Silva’s men will gather confidence in claiming victories at the East Midlands, having won each of their last three matches against Leicester City. Currently, the Cottagers sit ninth in the Premier League standings with 30 points from 21 games, five points behind the top six.
On the road, Marco Silva’s men have now only suffered one defeat in the last six away games, winning two and the other three ending in a draw.
