    We asked you for your thoughts on Saturday's Premier League match between Burnley and Fulham.

    Here are some of your comments

    Burnley fans

    Peter: A very poor performance. Gave the ball away too many times. Team selection was puzzling - why wasn't Fofana on from the start? We are clearly going down but my worry is some of the players may not be good enough for the Championship. Lack of pace at the back is a worry.

    Francis: Very lucky. Second best in every department. We have no leaders or strong characters. Good debuts for three new players. Vitinho was a second-choice full back in Championship and out of his depth. Kompany needs to keep a settled side. We are as good as relegated now but go down fighting with a view on next season. Kompany was lucky today given his poor choices.

    Ian: This may be the turning point of the season for Burnley. The three new loan players made an immediate impact. If we can finally work out how to defend corners then with Foster and Fofana up front we can pick up at least 20 more points which might just prove to be enough.

    Fulham fans

    Graham: Fulham were OK until the subs came on. They need to play for 98 minutes and not stop playing at 90 minutes. Goalkeeper was totally at fault for Burnley’s first goal, he is too eager to come off his line. Had he stayed he would have an easy save.

    David: Fulham could've won the game 10 times over. The fact that they allowed Burnley a draw was almost criminal, especially with two poor goals conceded. It was a combination of failing to finish Burnley off while so dominant and poor tactics/substitutions from Silva that allowed Burnley a foothold which they grabbed.

    Giles: Boys look out of legs. Blame the owners for not buying in new players. Broja not good enough, what about Brereton Diaz? Did he really prefer Sheffield United over us? To let a two-goal lead slide against Burnley is criminal.

  3. Burnley 2-2 Fulham: Key statspublished at 18:16 3 February

    • Fulham have won just one of their past seven Premier League games (D2 L4), while they’re winless on the road in 11 games since beating Everton 1-0 in August.

    • Burnley (10) are just the second Premier League side this season to concede at least 10 goals from set pieces (excluding penalties) after Nottingham Forest (12).

    • This is the first time Fulham have failed to win a Premier League game when leading by at least two goals since September 2018 against Brighton (2-2), while this is the first time Burnley have avoided defeat when trailing by at least two goals since drawing 2-2 with Manchester City in December 2014, losing their previous 76 such games before today.

    • David Datro Fofana has been involved in three goals in his two Premier League appearances for Burnley (2 goals, 1 assist), while he’s just the fourth player to score a brace as a substitute for them after David Nugent (September 2009), Chris Wood (March 2018) and Ashley Barnes (September 2018).

    • João Palhinha has scored as many Premier League goals this season for Fulham (3) as he did last season (3), while four of his six goals have come from corners.

  4. Analysis: Burnley 2-2 Fulhampublished at 17:53 3 February

    Emma Smith, BBC Sport

    Fulham have now conceded 26 goals away from home in the Premier League this season - more than they let in during the whole of 2022-23.

    It demonstrates starkly the woes Marco Silva's side are having on the road, and they threw away two more away points from a good position here.

    A rash decision from goalkeeper Bernd Leno allowed Burnley to pull a goal back, unsettled Fulham and roused the Turf Moor crowd.

    Fulham were left clinging on for the final 20 minutes and it was not a huge surprise when David Datro Fofana bullied the ball over the line late on.

    Silva must find a way to get Fulham firing in away matches if they are to avoid being drawn into the relegation battle.

    New loan signing Armando Broja - introduced from the bench in the second half for his Fulham debut - could prove to be crucial there.

  5. Burnley 2-2 Fulham: What Silva saidpublished at 17:21 3 February

    Fulham manager Marco Silva speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It's a really difficult one to take. Not the first time this has happened. Overall our perfomance in 2-1 was at a very good level, everyone felt another goal was coming for us.

    "The first goal we conceded gave them a boost, the crowd as well. As a team we were naive in that moment, and were punished.

    "We were fresh enough on the pitch, it is just we don't keep focus and are naive in some moments. These are details that will punish us hard this season."

    On Rodrigo Muniz, who scored his first Premier League goal: "A very good performance from him. A very good first half, good moments in the second half too. He's a young boy who works very hard."

    David Datro Fofana scored twice on his home debut as Burnley came from 2-0 down to draw with Fulham at Turf Moor.

    The Clarets looked set for a 10th home league defeat of the season as two first-half goals put Fulham in complete control.

    Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Muniz scored in quick succession before the break, but Chelsea loanee Datro Fofana changed the game after being introduced as a second-half substitute.

    The draw earned Burnley only a fifth home league point of the season and they remain in the relegation zone, seven points from safety, while Fulham have moved up to 12th.

  7. Sutton's predictions: Burnley v Fulhampublished at 11:02 3 February

    Sutton's predictions

    BBC pundit Chris Sutton is taking on Ski Sunday presenter Ed Leigh for this weekend's Premier League predictions.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1

    How many times can we say a game is a must-win for Burnley? This feels like another one, with the Clarets seven points adrift of safety.

    Fulham are not out of the woods yet though. They are still huffing and puffing but not exactly free-scoring at the moment either, and we will have to wait and see if signing Armando Broja on loan from Chelsea changes that.

    Burnley's home form is terrible but Fulham have been awful on the road, so a draw seems like the obvious result to go for.

    Ed's prediction: I watched Fulham against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup and really enjoyed the way they played. They looked really good playing out from the back - but they have just got nothing up front.

    You could say the same for Burnley, really, so I am going for a turgid goalless draw.

    0-0

  8. 'Broja won't have to move house'published at 15:57 2 February

    Football News Show image

    Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha has been discussing Armando Broja's loan move decision on The Football News Show: "I don't fully understand Broja joining Fulham on loan given the fact that some people say Chelsea need a striker.

    "Nicolas Jackson is missing too many chances. Christopher Nkunku has been unavailable - so you would think Broja is the guy to go and fill that gap.

    "Is this the sort of profit and sustainability-type situation where this is the value and he has to go?

    "The upside for him is that he's going from west London to west London, so he won't have to move house."

  9. Burnley v Fulham: Pick of the statspublished at 11:52 2 February

    • Burnley are unbeaten in their past 28 home league games against Fulham (W22 D6) since a 2-0 loss in April 1951. It is their longest run without defeat against an opponent at Turf Moor in their league history.

    • Fulham have lost six of their past eight Premier League away games against promoted sides, with their only win in this run coming at Nottingham Forest last season (3-2).

    • Burnley have won fewer home points than any other side in the Premier League this season (four), losing nine of their 11 games at Turf Moor so far (W1 D1). Only in 2018-19 (10) have they ever lost 10 or more home games in a single league campaign.

    • Fulham are winless in 10 Premier League away games, losing the past five in a row and failing to score in the past three. They last lost more consecutive top-flight away games between January and April 2019 (seven).

    • Since a run in which they netted at least three goals in four consecutive Premier League matches in November and December, scoring 16 times, Fulham have failed to score in five of their past six league games, and are the lowest scorers in the league since the date of the first game in that run (16 December, two goals).

    • Burnley have lost 16 of their 22 Premier League games this season (W3 D3), just one fewer than they did in their relegation campaign of 2021-22.

  10. Fulham sign Broja on loanpublished at 00:49 2 February

    Chelsea forward Armando Broja will spend the remainder of this season on loan at fellow Premier League club Fulham.

    The 22-year-old has made 19 appearances for the Blues this season, scoring two goals and assisting a further two in all competitions.

    The Albania international, who joined Chelsea as an Under-9, will now continue his development with fellow west London club Fulham.

    Broja said: "It feels amazing. I'm really happy to be here and I can't wait to get started, meet the players and manager, and play for the fans.

    "The fans always play a big role and I can't wait to go to Craven Cottage and meet them all. I'm going to work hard for the team and create a real bond.

    "I'm really honoured and excited to be here."

  11. 'Fulham is a safe bet' for Brojapublished at 22:33 1 February

    BBC Sport pundit Michael Brown

    Without sitting on the fence on who Armando Broja will sign for, both Wolves and Fulham are good projects.

    Fulham have showed promise at times but have been inconsistent. I feel that there is a gap and there's goals for somebody at the top of the pitch.

    The only thing I would say is that Broja's involvement and work rate needs to get a little bit better in terms of how he affects the game.

    That's got to improve at whatever club he goes too.

    I think Fulham is a safe bet. It's interesting though when you just stay in London because is that just the easy option? Is that the easy out?

    I don't see it as a big loss for Chelsea, but it is a loss because he's been playing games and they haven't got that definite number nine. I'm not sure he's done enough yet in his career to be playing every single weekend at a club like Chelsea.

    Tyrese Francois has joined Danish Superliga club Vejle Boldklub on loan until the end of the season.

    The 23-year-old, who hasn't made an appearance for Fulham this season, made 12 appearances for HNK Gorica last season before being recalled in February.

    Fulham said: "Everyone wishes Tyrese the very best over the coming months."

  13. Fulham expected to secure Broja loan dealpublished at 18:17 1 February

    Fulham have revived their interest in Chelsea striker Armando Broja and are now expected to secure a loan deal before the transfer window closes.

    The move looked dead earlier in the day when Chelsea’s demand for a £5m loan fee for the 22-year-old they rate in the £50m bracket was considered too expensive and appeared to end any chance of a move to Craven Cottage.

    Fulham manager Marco Silva is desperate for a goalscorer, however, and talks re-opened to revive the switch to take Broja across west London for the rest of the season, with the expectation that formalities will be completed.

    Wolverhampton Wanderers had also been interested in taking Broja to Molineux but all the indications are that Fulham will win the race for the Slough-born Albanian international.

  14. 'Agents haven’t been that busy'published at 16:42 1 February

    BBC Sport pundit Michael Brown

    I met a scout at a game against Brentford and when he mentioned his club, he said; "We’re frightened to death of breaking any rules, so it looks like we can’t do much at all."

    That tells you everything.

    Everyone is very limited - there are few ins and outs and a few swap deals but nothing significant.

    Usually the big deals have a knock-on effect as it releases a couple and we get movement, but it’s been very quiet and agents have not been that busy.

    I think there are lots of late deals to happen but will we see a bigger one? I don’t know.

    Chelsea's Armando Broja seems to be getting all of the speculation at this point in the day.
