Fulham won their first two home Premier League games against Burnley in 2009-10 and 2018-19 but lost at home against the Clarets last time out, a 2-0 defeat in 2020-21.

Burnley have won eight of their last 13 games against Fulham in all competitions (D3 L2), including their last two at Craven Cottage. They have never won three away games in a row against the Cottagers.

Fulham have won their last three Premier League home games against promoted sides, beating both Luton and Sheffield United already this season. They last won 100% of their top-flight home games against such clubs in 2010-11 (West Brom, Newcastle and Blackpool).

Since beating Fulham 2-0 in May 2021, Burnley are winless in their last eight Premier League games in London (D4 L4), losing each of the last three in a row.

Fulham have won 5-0 in their last two Premier League home games (against Nottingham Forest and West Ham). There have been three occasions in the competition’s history of a team winning by 5+ goals in three in a row at home – Chelsea (April-August 2010), Manchester City (September-October 2017) and Man City again (May-August 2021).

Fulham’s four Premier League games in December have seen 20 goals scored (13 for, 7 against), more than any other side. Their 13 goals scored is already the most the Cottagers have netted in a single month in the top-flight since December 1966 (16).

Burnley have picked up just two points in their 15 Premier League matches this season against sides who were in the Premier League last season (D2 L13). Indeed, five of the Clarets’ last 10 top-flight wins have been against newly promoted teams, including both this season.

Burnley have lost 13 of their 17 Premier League games this season (W2 D2) and have picked up just eight points so far. Assuming three points for a win throughout history, this is the second-worst points tally at this stage by the previous year’s second tier title winners, ahead only of Sunderland in 2005-06 (5 points).

Willian has been involved in five goals in his last five Premier League home games for Fulham (4 goals, 1 assist), while teammate Alex Iwobi has been involved in four in his last three at Craven Cottage (3 goals, 1 assist).

Burnley’s Jay Rodriguez has made 249 Premier League appearances and could become the first player to reach 250 while playing for Burnley since Ashley Westwood in March 2021. He has two goals and two assists in his last three Premier League starts against Fulham.
