Fulham vs Leicester LIVE: Cottagers aim to return to winning ways and inflict more misery on struggling Foxes

Fulham can pile more misery on relegation-threatened Leicester when the two sides meet in the Premier League on Monday.

The Cottagers’ European dreams have started to fizzle out after three successive defeats but securing a club points record finish this season remains on the cards.

Marco Silva’s side have lost to Aston Villa, Manchester City and most recently Liverpool to drop down to tenth with four games left.

But the Londoners know three victories or two wins and two draws from their games left will be enough to equal Roy Hodgson’s haul of 53 points in 2009.

Leicester meanwhile are deep in the relegation battle, only outside the drop zone on goal difference after their 2-2 draw with Everton.
