Only goal difference is keeping  16th placed Leicester City out of the relegation zone but the Foxes will be looking to pull clear when they travel to London to face Fulham. Hosts Fulham are 10th in the standings, three points ahead of 11th placed Chelsea. Coming into this game having fulfilled their first target of staying up, their hopes of European qualification are nearly over as they are ten points behind seventh place with just four games to play. Three straight losses ahead of this game have done those chances a lot of harm. They lost to Aston Villa, Manchester City and Liverpool in their last three games, failing to score in two and managing just one goal in that period. Apart from bluntness in attack, with their lead scorer Aleksandr Mitrovic suspended, Fulham will also have to worry about their defence, as they come here without a clean sheet in 10 straight games. They have conceded two or more goals in five of the last 10 games and failed to score in four.

Leicester City have had some recovery in their recent matches and shown signs they can cap a tough season by escaping relegation. This season Leicester were bottom at one stage, but the 2016 league champions have shown recent improvement with a three game unbeaten run. City have to keep up this up as a loss here could see them drop to 19th in the standings. In the last four matches Leicester have trailed but have still been able to claim five points in two draws and a win. They drew 2-2 with fellow relegation strugglers Everton in their most recent fixture. One area they will hope to do better in as they come into this game, is their defence – Leicester haven't managed a clean sheet in 15 matches. However, they have failed to score in just two of their last 11 matches. The visitors have just one win in 13 matches, and haven't won in the last six away games.
