Our Prediction for the Match: Fulham vs Leicester
Last season, Fulham under Marco Silva proved they are a team comfortably settled in the middle of the table, even without Mitrovic and his goals, finishing with 47 points in 13th place. Leicester City, as expected, did not linger in the Championship, securing a direct return to the Premier League.
However, the man who guided Jamie Vardy and his teammates back to the top, Enzo Maresca, was lured away by Chelsea during the summer. Steve Cooper, the former Nottingham Forest manager, now leads the team. Leicester was active in the transfer market until the very last minute, signing Hložek and Buonanotte just days before the start of the season, although they did let Iheanacho go. Fulham, on the other hand, made a good profit by selling João Palhinha to Bayern Munich and allowed veteran Tim Ream to depart. To fill the gaps, they brought in Smith Rowe and Cuenca, with Ryan Sessegnon returning to the club where he once shone.
Fulham began their campaign at Old Trafford against Manchester United last Friday. They were close to securing a goalless draw, but conceded the only goal in the 87th minute. Leicester started their season against Tottenham, conceding first before halftime but managing a 1-1 draw thanks to a goal from Jamie Vardy.
