Key Stats
Fulham
Fulham played well against Manchester United in their opening match. The game seemed to be ending in a nil-nil draw, but United got a late winner, giving them the win. Fulham will head into their second match of the season with a strong squad.
Historically, Fulham has a good track record against Leicester City, having won 49 of their last 99 encounters. The cottagers have beat Leicester City in their last two premier league matches. Recently, Fulham have recorded mixed results and will come prepared to show the Foxes their PL pedigree.
Expected lineup: Leno, Diop, Tete, Robinson, Bassey, Pereira, Lukic, Smith Rowe, Traore, Iwobi, and Muniz.
Leicester City
Leicester had to come from behind after Spurs scored in the 29th minute. The fans of the Foxes were worried that they might get walloped more than 3 goals. But, Jamie Vardy came clutch, equalizing before the hour mark, and held on to share a single point. The away team could be without influential players, Conor Coady, Luke Thomas, and Patson Daka.
Leicester City have made significant improvements in the last 12 months. However, they will face some transition issues as they place in the 2024/25 PL season. In the championship, Leicester was excellent, but they will need to play better to remain in the premier league.
The expected lineup: Hermansen, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin, Kristiansen, Ndidi, Winks, Buonanotte, De Cordova-Reid, Fatawu, and Vardy.
Prediction
Both teams failed to secure a win in their first PL opener. However, Leicester City and Fulham can take positives from their first games. Even though the Foxes struggled in their first half against the Spurs, they showed playing better in the second half and ended up equalizing with veteran striker Jamie Vardy.
On the other hand, Fulham started slow and was unable to break down the defense of Manchester United for 90 minutes. However, their ability to stay in the game and only allow United to score a single goal in the last minutes is a positive. During their match against Man United, Fulham had expected goals of 0.44 and zero big chances. On the other hand, Leicester City had a higher expected goal of 1.18 and 2 big chances.
