Fulham v Burnley

Fulham vs Burnley Preview

Fulham will no doubt be keen to return to their home surroundings of Craven Cottage for this upcoming clash against Burnley following last weekend's heavy 3-0 defeat away from home at Newcastle United, while Burnley slipped to another disappointing defeat last weekend as they lost 2-0 at home to Everton which means Burnley remain in the relegation zone of the Premier League.

Despite last week's loss at St James' Park, Fulham still remain in a comfortable looking mid-table position of 11th place and this season will already have been earmarked as a season for consolidation under manager, Marco Silva, whose side possess a more than useful looking 12-point buffer above the bottom three clubs ahead of the upcoming busy fixture schedule.

Three wins from their last five games overall have seen Fulham pick up important wins against Wolves 3-2, Nottingham Forest 5-0 and West Ham 5-0 and although results away from home continue to be a major concern for Marco Silva, his side have picked up five wins within their eight home games so far this season in the English top flight.

Goals also look likely this Saturday as seven of Fulham's last 10 league games overall have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

Burnley remain firmly ensconced in the bottom three of the Premier League table following last weekend's 2-0 defeat at home to Everton which became a second loss in three games for Vincent Kompany's side who had previously been handed a 1-0 defeat away at Wolves with a 1-1 draw at Brighton in between the two losses.

There's been precious little to cheer about if you're a Burnley fan this season though as The Clarets have managed to capture just two wins throughout the whole of this season's top flight campaign, picking up wins against fellow promoted sides from last season's Championship, Luton Town 2-1 and a 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.

Having been dealt no fewer than 13 defeats within their 17 league matches played to date though, Burnley face another proverbial mountain to climb this Saturday when they make their way to the nation's capital to take on a Fulham side who have won three of their last five games.

Conversely, Burnley have lost four of their last five outings on the road in the Premier League as the visitors have slumped to defeats at Brentford, Bournemouth, Arsenal and Wolves, so this looks like being a tough assignment for Kompany's men on Saturday.
