Burnley travel to Craven Cottage today, aiming to secure a vital victory and maintain their impressive recent record on the banks of the Thames.
The Clarets have moved past the 30-game mark, sitting 19th in the table and needing a significant upturn in form to bridge the eight-point gap to safety. Manager Scott Parker has overseen a run of just one win in 21 games, but will be encouraged by Burnley’s record of three away wins in their last four visits to Fulham.
Burnley team news
Scott Parker manages a squad heavily depleted by defensive and midfield injuries. Notably, Josh Cullen, Zeki Amdouni, Axel Tuanzebe, and Connor Roberts are all definitely ruled out.
Consequently, the manager is sweating on the fitness of Maxime Estève, who was forced off with illness last time out; if fit, he will anchor a three-man defence alongside Josh Laurent and Bashir Humphreys. Notably, Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming lead the team with seven goals apiece and will be the primary threats in a projected front three alongside Lyle Foster.
Martin Dubravka will start in goal behind the defensive trio. In midfield, James Ward-Prowse will look to control the tempo alongside the industrious Hannibal Mejbri. Kyle Walker and Quilindschy Hartman are expected to operate as wing-backs.
Interestingly, Walker has a phenomenal 90% win rate in his career against Fulham and will look to maintain that dominance to secure a first Burnley clean sheet on the road in over two years.
