Fulham vs Burnley Match Preview
11th-placed Fulham are set to host 19th-placed Burnley at the Craven Cottage in Gameweek 18 of the English Premier League 2023/24 season. Both teams suffered defeat in the previous Gameweek with Fulham losing out to Newcastle United away at St. James’ Park while Burnley to an in-form Everton side at home.
Burnley have been struggling massively this season and come into Saturday’s game as underdogs with just two wins in 17 games this season so far. Their only two wins this season have come against their relegation rivals, Luton Town and Sheffield United who have been suffering from problems of their own.
On the other hand, we have Fulham who have been relatively in a decent run of form with three wins in their last five Premier League games including a massive 5-0 win against West Ham United in Gameweek 16.
Marco Silva would be looking forward to getting into the top half of the table with a win on Saturday while the Clarets are in desperate need of the three points in order to keep up their fight to stay afloat in the Premier League by the end of this season.
