Introduction [Music] Contents Premier League Fulham versus Leicester city prediction teen news lineups preview both hoping to get off the mark for 2024 to 25 at the second attempt Fulham and Lester City Collide at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon the cottagers opened the new campaign with a slender 1 to zero loss to Manchester United while Steve Cooper's crop impressively fought back to hold Tottenham Hotspur to a 1 to1 draw match preview bestowed with the honor of opening the new Premier League season alongside man united Fulham initially looked set to hold out for a creditable point at the theater of dreams last Friday where Marco Silva's men repelled several feudal attacks from Eric ten hag's team however Fulham also failed to make the most of any openings that arose and with 3 minutes of normal time remaining man united new boy Joshua xery met Alejandro garnacho delivery with a delicate firsttime finish into the far Corner only a shocking garnacho Miss right at the death prevented a heavier defeat for Fulham whose manager Silva could certainly reflect on the pleasing aspects of that one-goal Reserve although pleasing aspects do not equal points for the capital outfit early Craven bage success has also been hard for Fulham to come by in recent years as the hosts have to go back to 2012 to 13 for the last time that they won their first premier league home game of a season losing four of their next five such clashes in addition Silva's men only took one point from the last 12 on offer at Craven Cottage last term although those three losses came to Liverpool Manchester City and Newcastle United while that lone one to one draw came against a highflying Crystal Palace speaking of two go stalemates Lester should not have had a hope of springing a turnaround against Tottenham on Monday where Cooper's men were blown away by their visitors in the first half but the Lily whites only had Pedro parro's goal to show for it the elusive second goal just would not come for Tottenham who were thwarted on several occasions by Fox's goalkeeper mads Hermanson and with an poag glo's defense at sixes and sevens early in the second half Jamie vardy the 37-year-old big six Tormentor took full advantage however the Lester Talisman whom Cooper claimed would miss the opener through injury then spurned a guilt edged chance to complete the leester fight back but the foxes still looked the more likely to score again until Rodrigo Banker's severe head injury brought their momentum to a grinding halt nevertheless Lester now head to London on the back of winning more away games than any other side in England's top top for tiers last season 14 but prior to their Top Flight relegation in 2023 they went winless in eight straight matches on Rival territory their Fifth and most recent loss in that sequence was a 5 to3 Beatdown at Craven Cottage in May 2023 where they were 4 to zero down inside 51 minutes which also marked fulham's thirdd win from their last four matches against their newly promoted visitors team news with no Fulham players picking up inj or red cards at man united head coach Silva is expected to have a clean bill of health for Saturday's game and now has Norwegian midfielder sander berga at his disposal following his arrival from Burnley berga who was also supposedly wanted by Manchester United could be thrown straight into the starting lineup for his full debut on Saturday potentially demoting Sasa lukic to the bench if Emil Smith row and Andreas Pereira hold their places the hosts are expected to welcome Dana Defender Wakee Anderson back to the club from Crystal Palace soon but Calvin Bassie and Issa deop should continue to form the central barrier in front of Baron Leno for now regarding Lester's availability Winger Abdul Fatu was the unfortunate soul involved in the head clash with Boner on Monday night but the 20-year-old escaped and scathed and managed to complete the full 90 at the king power however none of Luke Thomas unspecified Connor Cody thigh or Pat and Daka were involved in the Spurs stalemate but while the latter two will definitely sit this one out too Thomas might Force his way back into the ranks similarly to Fulham the foxes could also hand a debut to their new Midfield enforcer Oliver skip but the ex Tottenham man should only make the bench as Harry Winks Wilfred nii and fundo Buon not operate centrally Fulham possible starting lineup Leno T doop Bassie Robinson Pereira berga tro Smith row iobi munis leester City possible starting lineup Hermanson Justin FaZe vestgard Christensen Winks nii Fatu buut de Cordova vardy we say Fulham one to one Leicester city despite both failing to come out on top on Match Day One Saturday's competitors arguably had more positives than negatives to evaluate even if Lester were atrocious in the first 45 against Tottenham before cleaning up their act in the second a similarly slow start may not prove fatal against a Fulham side whose lack of penetration let them down at Old Trafford though and we can see the points being split evenly in this one thanks for your watching don't forget to click the
