Leicester will play Fulham away in their second Premier League fixture of the season. Craven Cottage is a tricky arena for Leicester, as we have seen in the past.
Steve Cooper and his Leicester team impressed in their season opener, 1-1 vs. Spurs. Fulham played Man Utd away in their opener and could easily have snatched all points, but had to see themselves defeated 0-1.
Leicester will most certainly add Oliver Skipp to their squad, but it might be too early for Jordan Ayew, potentially being available for the next match, but he could feature if papers are done in time.
Leicester will not have Daka, Coady, Thomas and Stolarczyk available as former Cottager Bobby De Cordova-Reid looks a starter in the Leicester team. Ex Leicester player Timothy Castagne looks to be part of the matchday squad for Fulham.
