Burnley vs Fulham predictions: Cottagers should extend Clarets' losing streak
James Milton
Burnley's only goals in last four games are Zian Flemming penalties against Brentford and Newcastle
Fulham have lost 5-4 to Man City and 2-1 to Crystal Palace in their last two games
Recommended bet: Fulham to win 2-1
Burnley manager Scott Parker has plenty of history with Fulham, but there will be no room for sentiment when the Clarets host the Cottagers on Saturday.
Parker's playing days ended at Craven Cottage and he started his managerial career with Fulham in 2019, but keeping Burnley in the Premier League is his sole focus this term.
The Clarets have lost their last six matches, leaving them five points from safety, with Marco Silva's Fulham one of the clubs they are aiming to overhaul in the battle for survival.

Team news
Burnley are missing Lucas Pires, Kyle Walker and Hannibal Mejbri due to suspension, while Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer, Connor Roberts, Axel Tuanzebe, Enock Agyei and Bashir Humphreys are all out through injury.
Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz and left-back Antonee Robinson remain sidelined and Ryan Sessegnon is unlikely to feature after missing last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace due to a hamstring problem.
The stats
Burnley have lost their last six Premier League matches and four of their last six home games have ended in defeats to nil.
The Clarets have scored only six first-half goals in 15 league fixtures this season.
None of Fulham's last 13 league matches have ended in a draw, while only six of the Cottagers' 20 goals this season have been scored away from home.
Harry Wilson has netted six goals in his last seven appearances for Fulham and Wales

Prediction
Burnley's hopes of snapping their losing streak this weekend have been dented by a lengthy list of absentees including suspended defender Walker.
The Clarets have been competitive at Turf Moor this season, beating Leeds and Sunderland to nil and suffering low-scoring defeats against Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Liverpool.
They should regard Saturday's game against Fulham as a realistic opportunity for three points, as the visitors have lost five of their seven away fixtures.
However, the Cottagers have a clear edge in terms of flair and creativity, as they demonstrated on their most recent away trip to Tottenham, as goals from Kenny Tete and Wilson put them 2-0 up inside six minutes.
Burnley striker Zian Flemming has made a decent impact in the top-flight, but the Clarets have failed to score from open play in their last four league matches.
Fulham beat bottom-of-the-table Wolves 3-0 at Craven Cottage last month and they have also defeated Burnley's fellow promoted clubs Leeds and Sunderland.
Parker's men are unlikely to roll over in a crucial fixture at Turf Moor, but a 2-1 away win looks a decent price in the correct-score market.
