Leicester was without their leading scorer Jamie Vardy for the night but still rose to a comfortable win against a struggling Fulham, who are desperate to get out of the relegation zone. Kelechi Iheanacho pushed in the first goal putting Brendan Rodgers' men ahead in the 17th minute before James Justin sealed the lead with a brilliant stroke just before half-time at Craven Cottage. Leicester’s record now states 8 wins off 11 matches played on the road and they move past Liverpool to stay third on the table five points away from Man City.

Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi are also set to return to the club and might play against Wolves this weekend. In another match, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Gylfi Sigurdsson both scored for Everton who sealed an away win with 2-1 against Leeds United.
