Fulham 1-1 Leicester: James Maddison scores to ensure hosts stay bottom

Claudio Ranieri was denied a memorable victory over Leicester when his former team recovered from a goal down to secure a 1-1 draw at Fulham.

The manager had been out of the Premier League for approaching two years since his sacking by Leicester, who he remarkably inspired to the title in 2016, when last month Fulham recruited him to lead them to safety following a troubled start to the season.

His influence has already been felt and he was on course to take them out of the relegation zone when Aboubakar Kamara gave the hosts a first-half lead.

The classy James Maddison then scored during the second half, 16 minutes from time, as both teams wasted further chances, instead keeping Fulham bottom of the league. PA

What time does it start?

Fulham vs Leicester kicks off at 19:45 (GMT) on Wednesday 5 December.

Where can I watch?

The game will not be televised, but you can follow the action via IndySport’s live blog.

Player to watch:

Rachid Ghezzal. The Algerian has big shoes to fill as replacement to compatriot Riyad Mahrez. He has made a respectable start in England, but the former Monaco winger has the ability to stretch Fulham’s leaky backline with his pace and trickery.

Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 66 minutes

There's something in the air at Old Trafford tonight.

Shkodran Mustafi is the latest walking wounded. Arsenal out of substitutions, of course, so he'll have to soldier on.

Burnley 1-2 Liverpool, 83 minutes

A clever back heel from Naby Keita nearly extends Liverpool's lead, but Phil Bardsley is well-placed on the line to block.

GOAL! Manchester United 1-2 Arsenal (Alexandre Lacazette, 68 minutes)

An error from Marcos Rojo, giving the ball away in his own half, and Alexandre Lacazette exchanges passes with Henrikh Mkhitaryan before surging through on goal.

Rojo recovers to try to hook the ball away from the Frenchman, but only succeeds in cannoning the ball against his shin and past the onrushing David De Gea.

But hold on...

Manchester United 2-2 Arsenal, 72 minutes

Two excellent chances for Arsenal as both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan fail to find a finish.

Marouane Fellaini replaces Marcos Rojo. This game could go anywhere.

Manchester United 2-2 Arsenal, 74 minutes

There's so much space out there now.

Marcus Rashford wastes an opportunity to play in Romelu Lukaku as the home side force a three-on-two, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang forces David De Gea into a diving save.

Here comes Paul Pogba...

Jesse Lingard goes off.

After going 1-0 behind Jurgen Klopp will be pleased with his team's response. Another victory.

[5 December 2018 21:37 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Full time at Craven Cottage. Denis Odoi had a superb late chance for Fulham but could only fire over, and thus Leicester take a point back to the Midlands with them. 1-1.

A superb home win for Wolves, shocking Chelsea 2-1 at Molineux thanks to goals from Raul Jimenez and Jota.

The full time whistle blows at Turf Moor. Burnley took the lead, but James Milner and Roberto Firmino scored to turn it around before Xherdan Shaqiri added the glossy finish in stoppage time. 3-1 to Liverpool.
