Fulham are taking on Burnley at Turf Moor this evening in what is likely to be a pivotal game in their unlikely survival bid. Scott Parker’s side earned a much-needed win over Everton on the weekend, cruising to a 2-0 victory with a performance far better than their position in the bottom three would suggest. But they remain seven points from safety and need another victory here to close that gap and give themselves real hope of pulling off a miracle escape.
Burnley are going well themselves, however, having followed a draw against Brighton – where they were much the better side – with a convincing 3-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the weekend. A win tonight would see Burnley climb above Palace to 14th in the Premier League, and at the same time move them 11 points clear of Fulham.
