The hosts suffered a sixth-straight defeat in the league last week, as they lost 2-1 away to Newcastle United. They conceded both goals in the first half, before Zian Flemming scored a consolation goal from the penalty spot in stoppage time.
The Cottagers have suffered defeats in their two games this month. After a narrow 5-4 defeat to Manchester City, they suffered a 2-1 home loss to Crystal Palace last week. Harry Wilson equalized for them in the 38th minute, only for Marc Guéhi to score an 87th-minute winner for Palace.

Burnley vs Fulham Prediction
The Clarets have lost their last six league games, conceding at least two goals in five games in that period. They have failed to score in four of their last six Premier League home games, which is cause for concern.
They have a lengthy absentee list for this match, as Bashir Humphreys, Jordan Beyer, Axel Tuanzebe, Connor Roberts, and Zeki Amdouni are sidelined with injuries. Kyle Walker, Lucas Pires, and Hannibal Mejbri will serve suspensions here.
The Cottagers have scored seven goals in their last three league outings but have also conceded eight times. They have secured just one win in their last nine games in this fixture.
Ryan Sessegnon, Antonee Robinson, and Rodrigo Muniz remain the three injury concerns for Marco Silva.
While the visitors have struggled in their recent meetings against the Clarets, they should be able to make the most of the hosts' drop in form and notable absences to secure a win.
Prediction: Burnley 0-2 Fulham
