Fulham
Fulham's £11.5million man Steve Marlet is likely to make his
full debut when the Cottagers take on Leicester at Filbert Street.
The French international, 27, has recovered from the knee injury that
blighted the start of his career with the Londoners and is expected to
start up front alongside Louis Saha on Saturday.
Fulham's French manager Jean Tigana is still without his countryman Alain
Goma, whose hip problem is keeping him in the treatment room. The centre-back
is returning to fitness but is not ready to make his comeback in the clash
with Peter Taylor's men.
Fulham (from):
Edwin van der Sar, Steve Finnan, Andy Melville, Kit Symons, Rufus Brevett,
Steed Malbranque, Sylvain Legwinski, Lee Clark, John Collins, Sean Davis,
Louis Saha, Bazza Hayles, Luis Boa Morte, Maik Taylor, Abdeslam Ouaddou,
John Harley, Bjarne Goldbaek, Steve Marlet,
Leicester
Wales midfielder Matthew Jones looks set to miss Leicester's game against
Fulham after having six stitches in a head wound.
Jones has been feeling under the weather since an accidental clash with
Middlesbrough's Paul Ince last Monday.
Muzzy Izzet (hamstring) and James Scowcroft (calf) are also doubtful but
Gary Rowett could return after a knee injury.
Leicester (from):
Walker, Rowett, Sinclair, Marshall, Elliott, Davidson, Savage, Izzet, Stewart,
Sturridge, Scowcroft, Akinbiyi, Royce, Impey, Oakes, Benjamin.
The Leicester men to watch are Dean Sturridge who has scored three goals,
like Louis Saha, and Robbie Savage who is Leicesters top tackler, top fouls
conceded and top number of yellow cards! Busy chap.
