Leicester City played host to Fulham in a Premier League meeting at the King Power Stadium on January 18th.
The Foxes headed into the game in desperate need of their first three points in well over a month.
Leicester City began the weekend sat 19th in the Premier League table having lost their last six matches.
As for Fulham, they are eyeing a midtable finish in 2024/25 and had lost just one in five prior to kick-off.
Despite another defeat at the hands of relegation rivals Crystal Palace in midweek, Ruud van Nistelrooy made just one Leicester change versus Fulham.
That saw Jordan Ayew brought back into the team and Brighton and Hove Albion loanee Facundo Buonnote dropped to the bench.
There was also no room in the matchday squad for January signing, Woyo Coulibaly.

Leicester City fans had a lot to say about Ruud van Nistelrooy vs Fulham
Leicester had a decent opening 10 minutes but in truth, it was another dire display.
Emilie Smith Rowe scored shortly after the break before Adama Traore made it 2-0 in the 68th minute.
After another drab showing and a seventh defeat on the spin, it appears Leicester fans have already had enough of Van Nistelrooy and took to social media to make their feelings known.
One fan wrote: “Get RVN out this club. How can we back him, its dire and boring. This team is NOT staying up and we look worse now than under Cooper.”
A second added: “Does RVN actually have a playing style? Everything is get the ball and look clueless. There’s literally no plan. It’s poor, we should have just kept Cooper because this is no different. Players are not up to the fight.”
“Van Nistelrooy is just a good looking Steve Cooper,” a third stated.
Meanwhile, many suggested it may already be time for the Dutchman to go, with one questioning: “Van Nistelrooy sacking soon surely?”
Another added: “I think it’s time for Ruud out,” with more fans writing: “Ruud can go now,” and Ruud Van Nistelrooy needs a new job.”
Ruud van Nistelrooy Leicester City record vs Steve Cooper
With another defeat under his belt, it’s fair to say Leicester fans will have expected more from Van Nistlerooy when he replaced Steve Cooper in the dugout.
Cooper took charge of 12 Premier League matches as Foxes boss, winning two, drawing four, and losing six with an average of 0.83 points per match.
In comparison, Van Nistelrooy has now won just four points from nine league games in the Midlands.
It’s become clear the former Manchester United man isn’t much of an upgrade on Cooper, who may well have been overarching slightly with this group of players.
