Fulham vs Burnley Prediction
Fulham are 18th in the English Premier League table, nine points behind 17th-placed Burnley. Scott Parker's side have lost four of their last five league games, and will need a miracle if they are to play in the Premier League next season.
Burnley, on the other hand, invested little on player recruitment last summer and have once again relied on Sean Dyche's wizardry. Like Fulham they have lost four of their last five league games, but they should have enough to stay clear of the relegation zone.
A draw seems to be on the cards.
Prediction: Fulham 0-0 Burnley
