Recent respective form guides

Leicester City will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. Foxes have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Leicester City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclaycard Premiership with a return of just 28 points from their 31 games thus far. Fulham's 41 points from 31 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
