Fulham vs Leicester City
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Craven Cottage, London
Date: Wednesday, December 5, 2018
Kick-off: 7.45pm GMT
Claudio Ranieri welcomes former side Leicester City to Craven Cottage on Wednesday as Fulham's battle against relegation continues.
Just three days after being beaten for his first club in English football, Chelsea, Ranieri faces the Foxes in an emotional reunion after their famous title win and the recent tragic death of club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha just over a month ago.
Fulham's will look to their December run of fixtures as an opportunity to get points on the board against fellow relegation candidates, so a win on Wednesday could kick-start a happy festive return.
