    Leicester 1-0 Fulham

    Denis Odoi wins possession down the Fulham right but gets his feet in a muddle and concedes a throw-in.

    Fulham have responded reasonably well to falling behind. Kasper Schmeichel has had precious little to do so far, though.

    Harvey Barnes lashes a shot over the bar as the Foxes look to build on their narrow lead.

    Fulham have struggled to get out of second gear so far. Can they respond?

    GOAL - Leicester 1-0 Fulhampublished at 21 mins

    Youri Tielemans

    Ah. That wasn't so good from Calum Chambers.

    The defender is dispossessed by Wilfred Ndidi in the centre of the park and the 22-year-old releases Jamie Vardy.

    Vardy only has Sergio Rico to beat but unselfishly lays the ball off to Youri Tielemans, who taps home for his first goal in English football.

    Leicester 0-0 Fulham

    Vardy again breaks clear down the left-hand side but Calum Chambers pokes the ball out for a corner - good defending by the 24-year-old.

    Can the Foxes do better from the resulting corner? Not really. Fulham easily clear the danger.

    James Maddison feeds Jamie Vardy, who is through on Sergio Rico's goal.

    Can he get his 100th goal in a Leicester shirt? No.

    The linesman's flag was up for offside.

    Leicester 0-0 Fulham

    Wilfred Ndidi fires another effort over Sergio Rico's crossbar - that certainly wasn't troubling the Fulham custodian.

    The visitors come forward again, though, and Sessegnon's cross deflects off Evans for their third corner of the match.

    Ryan Babel's delivery causes the Leicester defence one or two problems but the ball is eventually hacked clear.

    Leicester 0-0 Fulham

    Harvey Barnes - one of Leicester's standout performers in the last few weeks - cuts inside onto his right foot and delivers a teasing ball towards the far post which is deflected out for a corner.

    Fulham only manage to clear the cross as far as James Maddison on the edge of the box, but the 22-year-old scuffs his effort and the visitors eventually clear their lines.

    Kevin McDonald feeds Tom Cairney just inside the Leicester half and Fulham can break.

    The Cottagers' skipper surges forward by Wilfred Ndidi produces a fine tackle to win back possession for the hosts.

    Leicester 0-0 Fulham

    Aleksandar Mitrovic and Jamie Vardy are both on 10 league goals this season, but the strikers haven't been involved much so far.

    Leicester are beginning to gain a stranglehold on possession but Fulham are sitting deep and standing firm.

    The ball falls to Youri Tielemans on the corner of the penalty area but the Belgian drills his left-footed effort high over the crossbar.

    He certainly got enough power behind his strike, but the accuracy was some way off.

    Ryan Babel's cross comes off Wilfred Ndidi and Fulham have another corner, but Ryan Sessegnon overhits his cross.

    Ben Chilwell has picked up an early knock. The left-back is limping slightly but looks like he'll be able to shake it off.

    Leicester 0-0 Fulham

    Fulham have been knocking the ball around well in the early stages, but Jamie Vardy wins Leicester a free-kick in a promising position.

    Ben Chilwell's delivery fails to beat the first defender, however.

    A heavy touch from Kasper Schmeichel leads to Fulham's first corner of the game.

    Ryan Sessegnon swings the ball in but Youri Tielemans heads clear.

    There's a reason these clubs have changed managers. Leicester and Fulham have had the worst form in the Premier League over the past 10 games, with the Cottagers losing eight of their past nine.

    Brendan Rodgers and Scott Parker, who know each other well from their time at Chelsea, both lost their respective first games in charge last weekend.

    One big plus for Rodgers is that Jamie Vardy appears to be back in form with three goals in his past four games. Vardy's next for the club will be his 100th in Leicester colours.

    The last man to achieve that milestone was…Gary Lineker.

    Brendan Rodgers lost his first game as Leicester manager, at Watford last weekend, but this is a good opportunity for him to get up and running.

    In the defeat by Chelsea, Fulham got a lift from Scott Parker taking charge of his first game, but it boiled down to the quality of the players - and they lost because they just were not good enough.

    Prediction: 2-0

    Lots of work behind the scenes in the early days of Scott Parker's reign at Fulham.

    This is a voyage of rediscovery for a club that lost their way under Claudio Ranieri and the word is that Parker has the total respect of everyone at the club for both his personality and coaching capabilities.

    Now he must somehow use that to pull off a miracle to keep Fulham up.

    Fulham caretaker manager Scott Parker on avoiding relegation: "It is not mission impossible because there are games to play and points to be had.

    "I would be sitting here lying if I said it was an easy task ahead of us. That is obviously not the case but while there is realism we'll give it all we have got."

    Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers: "All games are very difficult to forecast. People will look at chunks of five games and think 'Right, you can get points here' but you never know what the other team is going to bring to the game.

    "Scott [Parker] has come in and Fulham had a good performance last week, so he will want to continue with that this weekend."
