Fulham vs Burnley prediction, preview, team news and more | FA Cup 2020-21
On a high after a superb win at Anfield against Liverpool, Burnley travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham in an FA Cup fourth-round clash on Sunday.
Burnley won that game at Anfield 1-0, thanks to a late penalty from Ashley Barnes, as the Clarets became the team that ended Liverpool's 68-match unbeaten home run in the league.
Burnley only managed to scrape through to the fourth round of the FA Cup though.
They needed a penalty shootout to see off MK Dons. In fact, they needed a stoppage-time equalizer from Matej Vydra to stay in the contest, before winning the shootout.
Fulham needed extra time, too, in the previous round. However, they got through without having to go through the rigours of a penalty shootout. Goals from Bobby Decordova-Reid and Neeskens Kebano helped them beat QPR 2-0.

Liverpool vs Burnley Prediction
Burnley will have had an outstanding lift to their confidence after their result at Anfield on Thursday night. Goals remain a problem, in that they don't have a consistent source for them. However, the fact that they don't concede too many stands them in good stead.
Even though Fulham are much-improved from their early-season struggles, we are predicting that they will lose this game narrowly.
Prediction: Fulham 0-1 Burnley
