Ayomide Oguntimehin provides the lowdown for the December 13th match-up.
Burnley vs Fulham match preview
Burnley head into the match-day 16 clash in search of a first win since their 3-2 win over bottom-placed Wolves in October. They have lost all of their last six matches and have only won two of their last 14 matches in all competitions.
The Clarets have only picked up 10 points from their first 15 matches and are in early danger of returning to the English Championship as they are currently 19th on the standings, five points behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest.

Fulham, on the other hand, will be hoping to bounce back from consecutive defeats to Manchester City and Crustal Palace in the league. Despite impressive performances in both matches, they were defeated 5-4 and 2-1 respectively by both clubs.
The Cottagers are also 15th on the standings with only 17 points from their opening 15 matches, having won five times, lost eight times and recorded two draws.

The Clarets have also kept only two clean sheets in all competitions this season, although both came in front of their fans – a 2-0 win over Sunderland in August and another 2-0 result over Leeds United in October.

Recent Form: Fulham
Fulham have been very inconsistent in their recent meetings, recording three wins in their last six games, although they have suffered defeats in the last two.
The Cottagers have only failed to score once in their last six games, and have not kept a clean sheet in their last three matches.
Player to Watch: Samuel Chukwueze (Fulham)
Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze has been one of the best performers at the club since his arrival in the summer, contributing two goals and three assists so far this season.
The 26-year-old’s impressive dribbling and crossing technique will be a major threat for Fulham against Burnley.
