Joleon Lescott predicts Leeds United v Fulham
Lescott wrote: “Leeds will always be hopeful of three points at home against any side outside the big six due to the fantastic atmosphere at Elland Road.
“Fulham will offer up opportunities for the hosts but also have a real goal threat themselves, so I’m struggling to call it.
“I think Jesse Marsch’s men may rise to the occasion and grind a narrow victory out.
“Prediction: Leeds 1-0 Fulham.”
Who will win?
In our view, Leeds United will pick up all three points from the Premier League game against Fulham at Elland Road, but only just.
Fulham have been much better so far this season and look likely to end the campaign in mid-table.
The Cottagers are scoring goals and are winning matches.
As for Leeds, the West Yorkshire club are struggling to find the back of the net and are also conceding far too many goals than they would like to.
However, the Elland Road faithful will be firmly behind the team this weekend, and that could make a huge impact and have a massive effect on the match.
