FUL vs BUR Dream11: Fulham are staring relegation in the face having gone six Premier League games without a win, losing five of those fixtures. Victory here for Burnley over the 18th placed Cottagers would extend the gap between the two sides to an unassailable 12 points with three games remaining. The Clarets may have lost a hard-fought contest at home to West Brom last Monday at Turf Moor, but their most recent away match saw them thrash Wolves 0-4. Sean Dyche’s men will prioritise defensive stability in this one, deploying a rigid set up with each player knowing their individual role and covering a huge amount of ground.
Date: 11 May, Tuesday Time: 12:30 AM (IST) Venue: Craven Cottage, London

Likely Winner:
Burnley have lost four of their last five matches, but a 4-0 win at Wolves last month effectively sealed their Premier League spot. Four of their five away wins this season have come in their last eight outings on the road, and they have won two of their last three trips to west London. The Clarets should have enough to secure a top-flight spot and potentially relegate Fulham in the process. In our FUL vs BUR Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 1-0 win for Burnley in this match.
