Burnley's survival hopes hang by a thread vs Fulham
13 Dec
Summary
- Fulham's six-game losing streak is their worst since 1895.
- Burnley boasts an unbeaten home league record against Fulham since 1951.
- Burnley faces defensive and midfield selection crises due to suspensions.
Burnley faces a crucial Premier League fixture at home against Fulham this Saturday evening, with their survival hopes potentially hanging in the balance. Scott Parker's side is currently in 19th place and enduring a historic six-game losing streak, their worst run in the top flight since 1895.
Despite Fulham's struggles, Burnley can draw confidence from their formidable home record against them. The Clarets have not lost a league game at Turf Moor to Fulham since 1951, a statistic that Parker will hope inspires his team to secure a vital three points.
A win is essential for Burnley to reduce the current five-point deficit to safety. However, the team is navigating severe selection challenges, particularly in defence and midfield, due to multiple suspensions and injuries, requiring significant reshuffles for the crucial encounter.
