Preview
- Date -Saturday, August 24, 2024
- Kick-off Time – 02:00 PM GMT
- Venue – Craven Cottage, Fulham
Fulham are set to host Leicester City in what will be the second Premier League 2023-24 game for the two sides. Both sides played promising football in their campaign openers, where Leicester City earned a valuable draw against Tottenham Hotspur while Fulham lost by a thin margin against the mighty Manchester United.
Fulham finished in the 13th spot last season, after being tipped to relegation by many. Their coach Marco Silva has instilled character in the squad, which recently secured Emile Smith Rowe too. However, they didn’t have a big transfer window, missing key players to other sides.
Leicester City got promoted from the Championship and started their journey in EPL once again with a bang when they made Tottenham Hotspurs share the spoils. However, things will be tougher now as the season advances. They will be looking to shock the hosts, who are the favourites for this fixture.
