Fulham enjoyed some memorable results at Craven Cottage in last season’s Premier League and they are favourites to beat promoted Leicester in their first home game of 2024-25.
The Cottagers thrashed Nottingham Forest and West Ham 5-0, beat runners-up Arsenal 2-1 and recorded 3-0 victories against Brighton and Tottenham last term.
Leicester are finding their feet under new manager Steve Cooper but they marked their return to the top flight with a battling 1-1 draw at home to Spurs on Monday night.
Leicester will have been delighted to get a Premier League point on the board at the earliest opportunity thanks to Jamie Vardy’s equaliser against Tottenham on Monday.
However, they were grateful for some sloppy finishing from Spurs, who created a host of good chances in the first half against the Foxes.
Fulham have the capacity to open up their visitors at Craven Cottage, where they averaged 1.63 goals per game last season, and summer signing Emile Smith Rowe is a big price to find the net.
Injuries and competition for places limited the attacking midfielder’s opportunities at Arsenal but he is a natural goalscorer from midfield.
He notched 10 league goals in 21 starts and 12 substitute appearances for the Gunners in 2021-22 and, with a clean bill of health, could become a regular scorer for Fulham.
