Leicester to Win
Even though Fulham has been in great form this season and they notched a couple of wins in their two games since Premier League restarted, we can see the Foxes winning this one.
Yes, Leicester enters this game after losing two in a row, but they did play against Newcastle and Liverpool. Now they are hosting Fulham, which seems like a winnable game and a perfect chance for Leicester to get back to the form they were in before the World Cup break.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
We saw both teams score in three of the four most recent head-to-head duels between Leicester City and Fulham, so we wouldn't be surprised if that happens on Tuesday as well.
In addition to this, both teams have scored in a whopping 76% of all Fulham games in the league this season, while the same is true for 47% of all Leicester matches in Premier League so far.

Leicester vs Fulham Preview: Latest Form, Team News, and Probable Lineups
We expect to see an interesting duel between these two teams, so let's take a closer look at them right now:
Leicester
After winning three of their last four games before the World Cup break, Leicester was far from great in their return since they've lost two games in a row since Premier League restarted, against Newcastle and Liverpool. Those were tough games and Leicester could find their good form again soon, with the game against Fulham being a good opportunity for a first win in the new year for the Foxes.
Meanwhile, the team will likely be without Patson Daka after he was injured against Liverpool. Ricardo Pereira, James Justin, James Maddison, and Ryan Bertrand are also all out with injuries right now.
Leicester Predicted Lineup:
Ward – Castagne, Amartey, Faes, Thomas – Soumare, Ndidi – Barnes, Perez, Dewsbury-Hall – Vardy
Fulham
As the newly-promoted team, many expected to see Fulham struggle again and fight for survival. However, the team has done very well so far since they are currently in the seventh place in the standings, with 25 points from 17 games. Fulham also won both of their games since the season restarted in the Premier League and if they can keep this form going, we could perhaps see them fighting for a spot in European competitions.
When it comes to team news, Fulham has no fresh concerns, but Neeskens Kebano and Manor Solomon remain out with injuries.
Fulham Predicted Lineup:
Sanchez – Lamptey, Dunk, Colwill, Estupinan – Caicedo, Gross – March, Lallana, Mitoma – Trossard
Starting Lineups
Check the starting lineups one hour before the kickoff, when they are usually released.
Leicester
Fulham
Player to Watch: Aleksandar Mitrovic
The Serbian striker has become a true icon at Fulham, especially after setting a single-season record for most goals in Championship last year, when he scored 43 goals in 44 appearances.
The experienced forward has done as well in Premier League this season and he is a huge reason why Fulham is sitting in the top half of the standings right now since he managed to score ten goals and add one assist in fourteen games in the league. So, Leicester will have to find a way to stop Mitro if they want to get a positive result from this game.
