Leicester City vs Fulham tips

Leicester City’s campaign this time round has left a lot to be desired; the team is 11th on the log, has lost 14 of the 29 played and at 35 points they are 36 points behind the league leaders, Manchester City. One of their biggest downfalls has been the fact that they have failed to dominate at home as they are known to and in their 14 home matches this season, they have managed just four wins. In their last five home matches in the league they have lost four and won just one, while they have no clean sheet in the last seven league matches at home. In the last 10 league matches, home and away, Leicester have managed just two wins, and recently were forced to shake up things a little on the technical bench. However, going to a game against Fulham, the former league champions have reason to view this as a winnable game. Fulham have no league win away from home in the current campaign, and in the four they have managed this season, it has always been against sides below 14th place. Fulham have only beaten Southampton, Huddersfield, Burnley and Brighton; all struggling sides. Leicester may be struggling but are a quality above the four, and playing at home should give them more impetus. Also, Fulham are winless in their last five matches and are without a clean sheet in the last 10 matches. In the last nine meetings, Fulham have four wins and Leicester one, while head to head, in the entire 27 meetings, Leicester have six wins and Fulham 16.

Brendan Rodgers has been able to work with the Leicester players for a whole week now and get his ideas across. I think Leicester will win this game, there will be a feel-good factor around the club with it being a home game. It's a nice game for Rodgers to have as his game at the King Power.
I thought Fulham did alright against Chelsea on Sunday, and there were times when they caused Chelsea problems. This time, they will have to come out and chase the game because Jamie Vardy, James Maddison and Demarai Gray with their pace will be able to punish Fulham. It was alright against Chelsea, they could sit back and counter-attack, but now they need to win.

Brendan Rodgers lost his first game as Leicester manager, at Watford last weekend, but this is a good opportunity for him to get up and running.
Fulham have lost eight of their past nine league games and have the worst away record in the top flight this season, after taking only two points from a possible 45.
I could see what Rodgers was trying to do against Watford, but the problem was Leicester's passing was so slow that it almost always let the Hornets get back into position.
I think we we will see them increase the tempo of their passing against Fulham, and they will need to. Otherwise they will just be playing in front of them, which looks pretty but is not particularly effective.
What might help is if Harry Maguire uses the ball more positively when he brings it out of defence, because he has definitely got the ability to do that.
Against Watford, he came so far but then just passed it without trying to hurt them. I want to see him keep the ball and commit someone from the opposition, because that is one way to open teams up, and also pinging clever passes straight through to Jamie Vardy, or runners from midfield.
Fulham improved against Chelsea last time out - they made some chances and certainly put in plenty of effort.
But they were at home and they were always going to have a go in a local derby.
They also got a lift from Scott Parker taking charge of his first game, but it boiled down to the quality of the players - and they lost because they just were not good enough.
