Leicester City are taking on Fulham at the King Power Stadium tonight in the Premier League.
The Foxes are flying high in fourth place and will climb above Liverpool to second in the table, behind only leaders Tottenham on goal difference, if they win tonight. Standing in their way are Fulham, who may seem like soft opposition given their defensive record this season, but Scott Parker’s side have been competitive on the road and constantly carry an attacking threat which Leicester must deal with if they are to succeed here.
