Sutton's predictions: Leicester v Fulhampublished at 11:15 18 January
11:15 18 January
'Foxes never quit' is Leicester's motto, but it is starting to look like they have done.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's side are on a run of six straight league defeats and are in desperate trouble.
I was too generous to them in my prediction before they played Crystal Palace on Wednesday because I thought they would score, but Palace won that one very comfortably in the end.
It's not a surprise to see Leicester struggling now because I think it's a case where they have been a mess all season.
There are people out there who will think this has been coming, because they sacked Steve Cooper and then seemed to give Van Nistelrooy the job off the back of two wins against them with Manchester United.
He was a great player who had his managerial apprenticeship with PSV, and I admired the job he did with United too, so this situation is not on him - he just inherited this team.
It is always a struggle for promoted teams, but there seemed to be a different expectation from Leicester fans because of their recent history, and a belief they would stay up easily then kick on.
The Premier League does not work like that, and they have found that out.
Fulham are not on a great run either, although they come into this game off the back of a lot of draws rather than defeats.
I thought Marco Silva's side deserved something out of their defeat to West Ham on Tuesday, and they won't slip up again - I can see Leicester scoring, because they are due a goal, but Fulham will have too much quality for them.
Earlier, we asked you who scored Fulham's first Premier League goal of the 2024-25 season.
The answer is Emile Smith Rowe, who netted in the 2-1 win over Leicester on 24 August.

Fulham boss Marco Silva has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at Leicester City (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Reiss Nelson and Kenny Tete are out, with the latter set to remain on the sidelines "until the end of March or the first weeks of April."
On injured Emile Smith-Rowe, Silva hopes "we can see him soon again with the team": "It was nice to see him on the pitch but let's see when he's going to be back in contention."
Everyone else is available for Fulham, including Sander Berge who has missed the past five games.
On the loss at West Ham on Tuesday: "If you asked me the next five times to play the same way - I would say yes. In five games, if you perform the same way without some mistakes, you are going to win five out of five. In 10 you are going to lose one and we lost that game."
He insisted he would be very happy with a similar performance on Saturday.
That defeat ended Fulham's nine-game unbeaten run and Silva was "delighted with the performances and dominance" in many of them, particularly given that December, in his view, is a very difficult month to go on such a run with the amount of games, injuries and suspensions.
The club "are not open" to selling Rodrigo Muniz: "No-one has contacted us because it's going to be a quick and easy answer. There is no chance at all, even to start to talk."
Silva said it is a "good headache" to have competition upfront, describing Muniz as a "really crucial" player who has "all the conditions to be the number nine of this football club for many years."
He was also asked about potential Fulham interest in a return for free agent Willian who left Craven Cottage in the summer: "We have enough wingers and we have to move with them."
With the club six points better off than this time last season, Silva said there is now "zero pressure", adding Whites "just have to look forward and improve."
With opponents Leicester currently 19th, Silva said his Foxes counterpart Ruud van Nistelrooy "knew what type of challenge he was going to face" when he took charge.
Finally, Silva praised Leicester striker Jamie Vardy: "He is the best example of fighting at the age he is now. He's the first to fight and chase for all the balls and is ready to be a threat every moment of the game."

We asked for your thoughts after Tuesday's Premier League game between West Ham and Fulham, which the Hammers won 3-2 in Graham Potter's first Premier League game in charge.
Here are some of your comments:
West Ham fans
Jim: What a result. Yes, we rode our luck, especially at the end, but we also played some really good stuff, especially the second goal. At the end, there was a feel-good factor - it was joyous. What a massive three points.
Kevin: How good to see us play like a team rather than a bunch of individuals who didn't seem to know what they were supposed to be doing. Real character shown by all the players, including the subs. To fashion a team and tactics with so many key players missing shows a lot of promise.
Michael: Big respect to Potter, for a great three points. Getting a result against a good team like Fulham with NO proper strikers is an extraordinary achievement. However, he must fix our terrible defence. Sadly, I doubt if they can be coached to be better. I would keep Max Kilman and Aaron Wan-Bissaka and clear out the rest. Get some defenders with pace and leadership qualities. Up front we must sign a striker or take someone on loan. But, overall I'm heartened by Potter's start.
Ant: Nowhere near perfect, but how refreshing to see some shape and urgency from the team, where they all looked like they knew what their job was and wanted to do it well. It was also great to hear the crowd really get behind the team, roaring the boys on to a hard-fought and much-needed three points. Two games in and definite signs of improvement.
Fulham fans
Charlie: Just frustrating. Went from controlling the game to 2-0 down in about 30 seconds. We seem to have these random off days, such as the 4-1 loss to Wolves in November. On to the next on. In Marco we trust!
Robert: Fulham made four goals. Two were for West Ham. That says it all.
Simon: You'll hear a lot of people citing a lack of finishing or the risks of playing out from the back as the problem, but our real problem is our defence. That's the fifth time this season we've scored two goals and failed to win. We simply have to tighten up, and can't continually need to score three just to win or even draw a game.
Glen: These defensive errors are really starting to derail our season. Three awful mistakes which have led directly to goals in our past three league games now have cost us crucial points. We were the better team but once again have nothing to show for it. Adama Traore really does need to work on end product as well.

Fulham manager Marco Silva, speaking to TNT Sports: "When you make mistakes like we did, it's very difficult to win football matches.
"We were the most dominant team from the first minute and created the most chances. There was only one team that was on the pitch trying to win the game until we conceded that first goal that we gave them.
"We controlled the game and hit the crossbar. We showed the quality until then, but we have to keep the standards up throughout the game.
"We also had another one hit the crossbar from Raul Jimenez, and even with the mistakes we made in the first half, the result could have been completely different if we were clinical.
"In the second half, we knew we had to start strong and score early to come back and get a result. We did it and then we gave another goal away for them. We did everything much more than West Ham. We have been dominant like we are in all the games. But it didn't reflect at all in the result but this is the reality of the Premier League."

Only Mohamed Salah (13) and Bukayo Saka (10) have provided more assists than Fulham's Antonee Robinson in the Premier League this season (nine).
Robinson's nine assists in 21 league appearances this term is more than in his first two seasons in the competition combined (seven assists across 100 games).

Sometimes you just have to write matches off as a game to forget. This feels like one of them for Fulham.
They dominated the early exchanges and hit the bar through Harry Wilson, before going 2-0 down.
One of those come via a terrible loose pass from Andreas Pereira and Bernd Leno also made a mistake for the goal that made it 3-1 to West Ham.
It is hard for Marco Silva to legislate for those kind of errors and the lack of calmness shown when Adama Traore blazed over the bar from five yards in stoppage time.
An eight-game unbeaten run is over but Fulham's ninth position represents a good return so far and they are still in contention for a European place.

FA Cup campaign 'feels like it could be significant'published at 12:36 14 January

This season marks 50 years since our last domestic cup final. That is scandalous for a club with our heritage.
Growing up, we clung onto that Wembley defeat to West Ham in 1975. Even 20-odd years ago, replica kits were produced, the players were spoken about with reverence (and rightly so), and DVDs were on sale.
The Europa League final has usurped 'Wembley 75' in recent years, but that day remains as good as it has ever got for us on home turf.
Victory over Watford at a two-thirds full Craven Cottage on Thursday night means we are in the hat for the fourth round and have been drawn away against League One opposition in either Mansfield Town or Wigan Athletic.
The fact we contested the third-round tie under the floodlights, and it wasn't even a replay, shows how the magic of the cup continues to ebb away, but a trip to Field Mill in particular would stoke the flames of nostalgia – it has been nearly 30 years since we faced the Stags.
This FA Cup campaign feels like it could be significant. As that 50-year anniversary looms, under Marco Silva we are as well equipped to mount a run to Wembley as we have been at any point since.
We are enjoying one of our strongest-ever Premier League campaigns, and tasted a League Cup semi-final last season, falling narrowly to Liverpool over two legs. The trajectory since Marco's arrival has only been going one way, and I have got a feeling he is destined to add to the Championship trophy he lifted in 2022.
There is a long way to go, of course, starting with Wigan or Mansfield. But what better way to inject a bit of magic back into the world's premier domestic cup competition than to have London's oldest football club reach the final?
It is in danger of becoming a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, and that just will not do.
Sutton's predictions: West Ham v Fulhampublished at 10:33 14 January

Graham Potter's aim will be to win his first home game as West Ham boss, but I am not sure where his side's goals are going to come from.
The Hammers were already short up front and now Niclas Fullkrug has been sidelined by a hamstring injury. He was one of the players I said people should watch out for this season, but that has turned out the way most of my predictions do.
Fulham are a good team, but some of their recent results have been a bit strange.
They are eight league games unbeaten and safely into round four of the FA Cup but that run includes a couple of home draws, against Southampton and Ipswich, where I expected them to win.
I am still erring more towards a Fulham win than towards West Ham but, because Marco Silva's side have turned into draw specialists, I am going to go for another draw here too.

Marco Silva thinks his Fulham side have been "really, really good," but should have picked up more points from their games.
Since losing to Wolves in their last game of November, Fulham have remained unbeaten in all competitions, picking up 12 points from their eight Premier League fixtures and qualifying for the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Speaking to the club's official website about their form, Silva said: "It's been a great run for us. We should have taken more points because we deserve it the way we have been playing in some of those games, but it's been really, really good.
"We showed the resilience, showed the quality, showed that we have been able to be competitive in any stadium in this country against any team and we want to repeat again against West Ham tomorrow.
"The teams when they play against us, they know what they're going to face and what type of game they're going to play. The players, they are confident that they can do a good job and we collectively are a strong side."
Silva's side sit ninth in the league table and although he would like to make some improvements to the team, he is not expecting a busy January window.
"It's going to be very quiet for us. Of course, we have one or two positions that we'd like to strengthen. We have the confidence in our players, we are really pleased with them.
"If we can add extra quality and someone that can have an impact like we did last summer, we're going to do it.
"If not, we keep the same group of players and we go until the end of the season because we have trust in them."

Fulham boss Marco Silva has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Premier League game at West Ham (kick-off 19:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On the injury situation: "We are seeing positive steps from Reiss Nelson and he is recovering. He is back on the pitch but not yet in a full training session. Seeing him closer gives us more confidence we are going to have him again at the best level possible."
On any transfer business this month: "January will be a quiet one. Of course, we have one or two positions where we would like to strengthen but to strengthen, you have to be able to spend money. We have the confidence in our players and are very pleased with them. If we can add extra quality and someone have an impact like we did last summer then we are going to do it. If not, we keep the same group of players until the end of the season."
Reports Palmeiras have returned with an improved bid for midfielder Andreas Pereira are "completely false."
On the need to find a way to win after dropping points in their past two Premier League games: "It's important. The last two home draws have had an impact on ourselves. The team even with some suspended, injured players the team is really responding well. This will be important to go to West Ham and to fight for the three points because we have the quality for it."
