Fulham are to play for the first time since the turn of the new year as they take on Leicester in the latest round of Premier League fixtures. The Cottagers will look to make three wins in a row after victories against Crystal Palace and Southampton.

A late goal from summer signing and Portugal international Joao Palhinha was enough to see off relegation-threatened Southampton. James Ward Prowse had equalled the score with a trademark free kick, cancelling out his own goal in the first half.

That win, combined with Chelsea being held to a draw by Nottingham Forest a day later (January 1) saw Fulham leapfrog their West London rivals into eighth.

Marco Silva gave an update on star striker Alexsandr Mitrovic saying his foot problem, which hasn’t stopped the Serbian from playing, is getting better. The striker has been in fine form this season, scoring 10 and grabbing one assist from 14 league games.

Meanwhile, Leicester are missing numerous key men. Patson Daka will be sidelined after injury in their defeat to Liverpool joining Jonny Evans, James Maddison, Dennis Praet, James Justin, Ryan Bertrand and Ricardo Pereira, who are all out with injury.
