Fulham XI vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team news

Fulham travel to Lancashire on Saturday looking to arrest their own slide down the table.

Marco Silva’s side have lost back-to-back home games. Consequently, they are now just four points above the relegation zone. A result at Turf Moor is crucial to avoid being dragged further into a survival battle.

The Cottagers have a strong recent record against promoted teams. They are unbeaten in their last 11 meetings with such sides. However, they face a Burnley team that has historically dominated them at Turf Moor. Fulham have failed to win a league game at this ground in over 70 years. Silva will be desperate to break that curse this weekend.

Marco Silva has confirmed that Ryan Sessegnon and Rodrigo Muniz remain sidelined with thigh injuries. However, there is a boost with Antonee Robinson returning to training. Despite this, he is unlikely to start just yet. This match marks the final appearance for three key players before they depart for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Samuel Chukwueze are all available. Bassey and Iwobi are expected to start in defence and midfield, respectively. Chukwueze will hope to retain his place on the wing. Harry Wilson is in excellent form and will continue on the right flank. He has recorded a goal or assist in each of his last three games.
