Burnley continue their push for Premier League survival against Fulham at Turf Moor.
Victory would see Burnley stay second-bottom but potentially move to within four points of safety depending upon results elsewhere.
Fulham meanwhile can go 12th in the table with a win.

Stat Attack
- Burnley are unbeaten in five of seven previous Premier League meetings against Fulham (W3, D2, L2).
- Fulham are winless in three previous Premier League visits to Burnley (D2, L1).
- Burnley have scored twice in three of their last four meetings against Fulham, except for a 1-1 draw at home in February 2021.
- No player has been substituted off the pitch on more occasions in the Premier League this season than Burnley’s Zeki Amdouni, who has been taken off in 19 of his 21 appearances.
- Raul Jimenez has been caught offside on more occasions than any other Fulham player this season (10).
Prediction
Although getting any sort of result at Manchester City was always an impossible task, Burnley should be happy with just three conceded goals and a goal themselves but it is important that they find a win here to put some pressure on those above them.
Fulham meanwhile are only seven points above the relegation zone but now without Jimenez, it is vital that Broja hits the ground running if Marco Silva’s Cottagers want to avoid being sucked into the fight for survival after a tricky week-and-a-half.
I however do feel that their better attacking quality might see them through to a first Premier League win away to Burnley, because Vincent Kompany’s Clarets do seem there for the taking given their awful home form but this could be a scrappy game that ends in a draw.
Prediction: Burnley 1-1 Fulham
Result: Burnley 2-2 Fulham
