Burnley vs Fulham preview 

Fulham have gone 29 league visits to Turf Moor without a victory, last securing an away win at Burnley back in 1951.

They will not get many better opportunities to snap that streak than they do on Saturday against a Clarets side who have been sinking like a stone in the Premier League.

Scott Parker’s men go into this game having lost six games on the spin after a bruising 2-1 defeat to Newcastle last weekend.

Burnley’s -18.5 expected goal difference figure is nearly ten lower than the second-worst team on that metric while they have taken the fewest shots in the league (122) while allowing the most (236). The Clarets have taken the fewest touches in their opponents box (236) and have the lowest possession figure in the league (40.6 per cent).

They were slightly better against the Magpies last time out but it remains the case that this is a poor Premier League side who look set for relegation unless something drastic changes.

The hosts take on a Fulham team who have had a tricky campaign themselves, only Burnley and Wolves have lost more games than the Cottagers after their 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend.

However, they had won three of their last five games before that and put four past Manchester City, so there have been signs of life for Marco Silva’s men.

Concerningly for Burnley, Fulham’s best performances have come against their fellow strugglers. They have already beaten Leeds, Brentford and Wolves this season, as well as securing victories over Sunderland and Tottenham.

The visitors’ away form is a big concern but they will not get many better chances for a victory on their travels than against Burnley, who have scored just five goals in seven games at Turf Moor.

Injuries are starting to bite for the home team and losing Kyle Walker, Lucas Pires and Hannibal to suspension is far from ideal.

Fulham by contrast have a relatively clean bill of health and their superior strength in depth should see them secure their first away league win at Turf Moor in 74 years.

Iwobi’s attacking intent to be missed

This will be Alex Iwobi’s final game for Fulham before he departs to the Africa Cup of Nations and the Cottagers will miss his all-action performances in the middle of the park.

The former Arsenal man has had four shots on target in his last five games and looks a solid selection for another against a leaky Burnley side.

Comfortable success fancied for visitors

Burnley have already lost four of their seven home games this season without scoring and they could suffer the same fate.

Chelsea and Arsenal have already won 2-0 at Turf Moor this term.

Fulham to win

Burnley have lost six in a row and have scored only five goals in their seven home games.

Under 2.5 goals

All seven of Burnley’s home games this term have gone under 2.5 goals and Fulham could cruise to a comfortable success.

Alex Iwobi to have a shot on target

The Nigerian midfielder has four shots on target in his last five games and against the team who have allowed the most attempts on goal in the league, he is fancied for another.
