Fulham continue their hunt for European qualification against Premier League strugglers, Burnley.
Victory will lift Fulham as high as eighth in the table, whilst Burnley will remain second-bottom regardless of the result.
Team News
Fulham could be without Kenny Tete after he suffered a foot injury in their goalless draw at Nottingham Forest.
Emile Smith Rowe (knock) missed that game and will face a late fitness test.
Kevin (metatarsal) is still ruled out.
Burnley could welcome Mike Tresor back from a lengthy ankle injury.
Maxence Esteve is also available despite having suffered from illness during their goalless draw at home to Bournemouth.
Axel Tuanzebe (Achilles), Zeki Amdouni (knee), Josh Cullen (ACL), Conor Roberts (Achilles) and Jordan Beyer (hamstring) remain sidelined.
When is Kick-Off?
Fulham host Burnley at Craven Cottage on Saturday 21 March at 3pm GMT, untelevised live in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Fulham have won one of their last six league meetings against Burnley (W1, D2, L3)
- Burnley have won three of their last five visits to Fulham (W3, L2).
- Fulham have lost each of their last two home matches against Burnley by 2-0 results (L2).
- Marco Silva’s Fulham are looking for consecutive clean sheets for the first time in 2026.
- Burnley have claimed four points in two away visits to London-based opposition in 2026 (W1, D1).
Prediction
Having drawn blank in their last three matches in all competitions, Fulham would of been relieved to had not conceded at Forest after two successive 1-0 losses beforehand but they did lack their attacking spark so this is an ideal game to reignite their goalscoring boots.
Burnley though dug in defensively to gain a deserved goalless draw at home to Bournemouth in a lively attacking encounter between both teams, in which they like the Cherries lacked the clinical final touch beat either goalkeeper so they have nothing to lose especially with the drop now certain.
On that note, I have a feeling that this will be another close game but Fulham’s extra motivation with their hunt for European spot could be the difference.
Prediction: Fulham 1-0 Burnley
Result: Fulham 3-1 Burnley
