Fulham host Burnley on Saturday in the Premier League’s only 3pm kick-off, with both sides chasing very different objectives as the season enters its final weeks.
The Cottagers remain in the hunt for a European place, but a run of three matches without a win in all competitions has slowed their progress. There are growing concerns that their campaign is losing momentum at a crucial stage.
Burnley arrive in urgent need of points as they battle to avoid relegation. The Clarets sit 19th in the table, nine points from safety with eight games remaining, leaving little margin for error.
Fulham v Burnley Live Stream Details
The match will not be shown live on TV in the UK due to the Saturday 3pm blackout rule. Highlights will be available after full-time on Sky Sports’ YouTube channel and via the Sky Sports app.
There is still a path for Burnley to close the gap, with four of their next five fixtures coming against teams in the bottom half. This trip to Craven Cottage could prove key to their survival hopes.
Recent visits to Fulham will give the visitors some encouragement. Burnley have won their last three matches at Craven Cottage without conceding, scoring seven goals across those victories. They have also picked up positive results in London recently, including a win at Crystal Palace and a draw at Chelsea.
Fulham’s recent struggles in front of goal have added to their concerns. They have failed to score in their last three matches, including defeats at home to West Ham and Southampton, as well as a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest.
Their home form has also dipped, with three defeats in their last four matches at Craven Cottage. Burnley, who have avoided defeat in six of their last 10 league games, may see this as an opportunity to take something from the contest.
A low-scoring game could be on the cards. Fulham have lacked attacking threat in recent weeks, while Burnley showed defensive resilience in their goalless draw with Bournemouth and have kept clean sheets in each of their last three visits to this ground.
Kick off time
Fulham v Burnley will kick off at 3pm on Saturday.
