Leicester City are aiming to build on their victory over Watford and climb into the top six as they visit bottom side Fulham, who are seeking a return to winning ways after losing at Chelsea.

Team news

Striker Floyd Ayite (groin) is out for Fulham, but Andre Schurrle (muscle fatigue) is back in contention for the Whites.

For Leicester Jamie Vardy (groin) will be assessed, while Harry Maguire (knee) and Rachid Ghezzal (leg) are also doubtful for the clash with the Cottagers.

Matty James (Achilles) appeared in Premier League 2 action, but is not expected to return at Fulham.

Did you know?

This will be the first Premier League meeting between Fulham and Leicester since 2003/04, when the Cottagers won both meetings 2-0.

Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored five goals in his last five PL home matches.

Leicester, who are unbeaten in five PL matches, last went longer without defeat in the competition in May 2016, when they had a 12-match undefeated run during their title-winning campaign under now-Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri.

Jamie Vardy has scored a penalty in Leicester’s last two PL matches and could now become the sixth player to net from the spot in three consecutive appearances in the competition, after Ian Wright, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Michael Owen, Yohan Cabaye and Sergio Aguero.
