Leicestershire

"You don't know what you're doing."

The Leicester fans made their feelings known towards manager Ruud van Nistelrooy when he substituted attacker Bilal el Khannouss in the second half despite being a goal down.

Four minutes later, Leicester conceded again and were well on their way to their seventh Premier League on the spin.

Like Wednesday's loss to Crystal Palace, Leicester started the game in promising fashion but it quickly diminished as they lost the grip on the match and it looked like a matter of time before Fulham broke the deadlock.

That is exactly what Marco Silva's side did in the second half and the Foxes never looked like getting back in the game once Emile Smith Rowe scored.

A stadium with empty seats from kick-off then started turning on the manager with loud jeers sounding all around the King Power.

With an xG of just 0.48 at full-time, Leicester are extremely lacking when attacking and Jamie Vardy was hugely isolated once again.

The Foxes have failed to score in five of their last seven games after netting five times in Van Nistelrooy's opening two games in charge.

Leicester remain rooted in the bottom three with just 14 points on the board.

Leicester City have lost seven consecutive league games for only the fourth time in their history, also doing so in April 2001 (a run of eight), September 1990 and January 1932.

'Foxes never quit' is Leicester's motto, but it is starting to look like they have done.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's side are on a run of six straight league defeats and are in desperate trouble.

I was too generous to them in my prediction before they played Crystal Palace on Wednesday because I thought they would score, but Palace won that one very comfortably in the end.

It's not a surprise to see Leicester struggling now because I think it's a case where they have been a mess all season.

There are people out there who will think this has been coming, because they sacked Steve Cooper and then seemed to give Van Nistelrooy the job off the back of two wins against them with Manchester United.

He was a great player who had his managerial apprenticeship with PSV, and I admired the job he did with United too, so this situation is not on him - he just inherited this team.

It is always a struggle for promoted teams, but there seemed to be a different expectation from Leicester fans because of their recent history, and a belief they would stay up easily then kick on.

The Premier League does not work like that, and they have found that out.

Fulham are not on a great run either, although they come into this game off the back of a lot of draws rather than defeats.

I thought Marco Silva's side deserved something out of their defeat to West Ham on Tuesday, and they won't slip up again - I can see Leicester scoring, because they are due a goal, but Fulham will have too much quality for them.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2
