- 336 words
Following their 3-2 win in December, Fulham are looking to complete the league double over Burnley for the first time since 1950-51.
Burnley have won three of their last four away league games against Fulham (L1), winning their last two visits by the same 2-0 scoreline.
Fulham have lost just one of their last 14 Premier League games against promoted sides (W8 D5), going down 1-0 at Leeds in January.
Fulham have lost 1-0 against West Ham and drawn 0-0 with Nottingham Forest in their last two Premier League games. They last went three without a goal in December 2023, a run which included a 2-0 home defeat to Burnley.
Burnley have won just one of their last 21 Premier League games (D7 L13), though four of their 10 points in this run have come away against London sides (3-2 vs Crystal Palace, 1-1 vs Chelsea).
Burnley have kept just one clean sheet in their last 41 Premier League away games, conceding in each of their last 25 since a 2-0 win at Fulham in December 2023.
Fulham have the oldest average starting XI age in the Premier League this season (28y 236d), while Burnley rank fourth for this (27y 181d). Despite it being the fourth oldest this season, it’s the Clarets’ second youngest across a full Premier League campaign (24y 248d in 2023-24 the youngest).
Of all opponents he’s faced 10+ times in the Premier League, Burnley’s Kyle Walker has a higher win rate against Fulham than any other side (90% – 9/10). His first ever goal in the competition also came against the Cottagers, back in February 2011 with Aston Villa.
Harry Wilson is Fulham’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with nine goals. He could be just the second British player to reach double figures for the Cottagers in a single campaign, after Andrew Cole in 2004-05 (12).
Harry Wilson has been involved in 15 Premier League goals for Fulham this season (9 goals, 6 assists). The last Welsh player with more in a single campaign was Aaron Ramsey in 2013-14 (18).
