Fulham’s push for survival will see the West London side tour Turf Moor to face Burnley in a rescheduled Premier League fixture this Wednesday. Currently, hosts Burnley are placed 16th in the league standings, with 26 points and Fulham are on 18 points, and in 18th place. Burnley are not yet clear of the relegation danger and after their big win over Crystal Palace, another three points here will do them a lot of good. The Clarets have won seven of their league matches this season and their main problem has been in attack. They have the second least tally of goals (17); only better than bottom placed Sheffield United. However, their defence is the best among the bottom half teams, having conceded 29 goals. Burnley’s 3-0 win over Fulham handed them a first clean sheet in six matches and it was the third time in the last 10 matches that they scored more than a goal. In the last 10 league matches, Burnley have registered four wins and in their 11 home league matches this season, they have registered just four wins. This is the first league meeting between the two teams this season but they met earlier in the FA Cup. Burnley beat Fulham 3-0 on that occasion.

Fulham, just like Burnley, are coming from a big win. They claimed a 2-0 away win over Everton in their last match courtesy of Josh Maja’s brace. That was their first win in nine matches but they have lost four of their last 10 and failed to score in eight of the 10. Also, Fulham have just two wins in their last 15 matches but heading here with two straight clean sheets will boost their psyche. They are seven points below the safety line and a win here will greatly boost them. However, a run of just three wins in the league so far leaves them as serious underdogs. They are also not big in attack but with a five-match unbeaten away run of four draws and a win, they should feel capable of collecting points at Turf Moor. Both teams will have a few key men unavailable for this clash. At Fulham Tom Cairney is set to sit out with injury and the same will be the case with Ben Mee at Burnley. The hosts will also have to do late checks on Robbie Brady, Josh Brownhill, Charlie Taylor and Chris Wood.
