Latest Leicester vs Fulham team information
Leicester are facing a shortage of personnel with Mads Hermansen (groin), Wilfred Ndidi (hamstring), Abdul Fatawu (knee) and Ricardo Pereira (muscle) all injured. New signing Woyo Coulibaly joined the Foxes from Parma on Wednesday. The right-back has not trained with the team yet, but could be available to face Fulham, subject to completing his transfer paperwork.
Odsonne Edouard is not allowed to play against parent club Crystal Palace, but he will return this weekend. The striker will compete with Jordan Ayew, Patson Daka, Kasey McAteer, and Bobby De Cordova-Reid. Here are five options for Van Nistelrooy to consider in attack.
For Fulham, Kenny Tete and Reiss Nelson remain absent as they recover from knee and thigh injuries. Sander Berge has returned from an ankle injury and could start in midfield, competing with Andreas Pereira or Sasa Lukic for a place.
Coach Silva is likely to keep the same starting lineup, without too many changes. The attacking quartet of Iwobi, Emile Smith Rowe, Harry Wilson, and striker Raul Jimenez will likely continue to be trusted.

Latest football commentary on Leicester vs Fulham
Since his first Premier League win, Ruud van Nistelrooy has failed to lead Leicester to a win in his last seven games. This run includes six straight defeats, each of which saw them concede at least two goals. Foxes fans were left frustrated after a third straight home defeat, failing to score in a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. They had just four of their 21 shots on target in that game.
Leicester have only suffered a longer losing streak once, eight in a row between March and April 2001. Leicester are 19th in the Premier League, in danger of relegation. They are only two points from safety, though, and Van Nistelrooy will hope a rapid improvement in form will help them climb the table. Leicester have taken nine of their 14 points at home, but have lost their last two home games to Fulham.
Fulham's nine-match unbeaten run and eight-match unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end in a 3-2 defeat to West Ham United. Antonee Robinson provided two assists for Alex Iwobi in the game, the second of which reduced the deficit to give Fulham a dramatic finish. However, they were unable to equalise and suffered their first defeat since November. Marco Silva said "the better team lost" and the result could have been different.
Fulham are 10th and just five points off the top seven, seven off fifth. Fulham have no problem scoring away from home, having scored in each of their last nine Premier League games. They can be confident of a win on Saturday, having won six of their 11 Premier League games against Leicester, a win rate of 55%.
