Analysis

We're taking Fulham to win outright at home on Saturday against Leicester City.

Full Breakdown

Fulham open up at Craven Cottage this weekend in front of their home fans after losing a competitive 1-0 matchup against Manchester United last week.

The Cottagers gave United a game in that one however, and manager Marco Silva has done a great job of shoring up that midfield after Joao Palhinha's move to Bayern Munich over the summer.

Leicester meanwhile enjoyed a much better result than Fulham last week on the surface, coming out with a very respectable 1-1 draw at home against Tottenham in their opening matchup. However, Tottenham were all over Leicester for at least the first 55-60 minutes of that game, and really should have put Leicester firmly in the rearview mirror before the Foxes managed to equalize with their very first shot on goal.

That's unlikely to happen twice however, and manager Steve Cooper, while no doubt an experienced coach, has never been particularly good away from home across his career, with his Nottingham Forest side winning just four games from 19 last season.

Leicester are nothing like the team that won the Championship last season, being raided heavily over the summer, and while they may have escaped with a positive result last week, it's unlikely to happen again, especially against a solid Fulham side who will no doubt be pumped up for their opening game at home this season.

Leicester have won just once in West London this century, and we don't expect that to suddenly change, especially against a Fulham side that, whilst arguably not as strong as they were last season, are nonetheless a considerably better team than this current Leicester side are.

Take Fulham to get the outright win at home against Leicester on Saturday.
