Latest Leicester vs Fulham team news
Leicester are facing a personnel shortage due to injuries to Mads Hermansen (groin), Wilfred Ndidi (hamstring), Abdul Fatawu (knee), and Ricardo Pereira (muscle). New signing Woyo Coulibaly joined the Foxes from Parma on Wednesday. The right-back has not yet trained with his teammates, but could be ready to face Fulham, subject to completion of his transfer paperwork.
Odsonne Edouard is ineligible to play against his parent club Crystal Palace, but he will return this weekend. The striker will compete for a place with Jordan Ayew, Patson Daka, Kasey McAteer, and Bobby De Cordova-Reid. These are five attacking options that manager Van Nistelrooy could consider.
On the Fulham side, 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. He will be competing with Andreas Pereira or Sasa Lukic for a place.
Coach Silva is likely to keep the starting lineup unchanged, with not too many alterations. The attacking quartet of Iwobi, Emile Smith Rowe, Harry Wilson, and striker Raul Jimenez will most likely continue to be trusted.

Latest Leicester vs Fulham football match prediction
Since their first Premier League victory, Ruud van Nistelrooy has failed to lead Leicester to a win in their last seven matches. This run includes six consecutive defeats, in which they conceded at least two goals in each game. Foxes fans were particularly disappointed after their third consecutive home defeat, failing to score in their 0-2 loss to Crystal Palace. They only had 4 of their 21 shots on target in that match.
Leicester have only suffered a longer losing streak once, eight consecutive games from March to April 2001. Leicester are currently 19th in the Premier League table, in danger of relegation to the second division. However, they are only two points behind safety and Van Nistelrooy hopes a rapid improvement in form will help them climb up the table. Leicester have earned nine of their last 14 points at home, but have just lost their last two home games against Fulham.
Fulham's nine-match unbeaten run and eight-match unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end with a 2-3 defeat to West Ham United. Antonee Robinson provided two assists for Alex Iwobi in the match, the second goal reducing the deficit and giving Fulham a dramatic finish. However, they were unable to score an equalizer and suffered their first defeat since November last year. Marco Silva suggested that "the better team lost" and that the result could have been different.
Fulham are currently 10th and just 5 points behind the top 7, and 7 points behind 5th. Fulham have no problem scoring away from home, having scored in each of their last 9 Premier League matches. They can be confident of a win on Saturday, having won 6 of their 11 Premier League matches against Leicester, a win rate of 55%.
