Fulham v Leicester City: Leicester City is hoping to avoid a first win of this season with three wins when it visits a tough Fulham side in desperate need of wins and no results (start time 1pm ET Wednesday, online via Peacock Premium).
The Foxes drew Everton and lost to Leeds. Now they are five points from the top of the table and have played one more game than leaders Man City. More importantly, the team that just missed the Champions League last season has a host of potential competitors behind them.
This group does not include Fulham, who remain in 18th place despite being in has lost nine games only twice. That’s because the Cottagers have seven draws on this stretch, including consecutive splits with Brighton and West Brom.

Fulham have to hope Fofana and Vardy do not return to the game despite Leicester having plenty of weapons to attack even without the young center-back and seasoned top scorer. Bigger Problem for Fulham Where do the goals come from? Bobby Decordova-Reid’s five goals account for almost a third of Cottagers’ performance, and only three other players have scored more than once in the PL game. Fulham 0-1 Leicester City.
