Burnley are unbeaten in their last 30 home meetings with Fulham in all competitions (W25 D5), their longest ever unbeaten run against an opponent at Turf Moor in their history. Their last such defeat was back in April 1951 (0-2).

Only against Liverpool (30 between 1934-2011) have Fulham had as long a winless away run against an opponent in all competitions than their current run of 30 without a win at Burnley.

Fulham have lost just one of their four Premier League meetings with Burnley (W2 D1), though it was in this exact fixture the last time the sides met in January 2019 (1-2).

Burnley have won just one of their last seven Premier League matches against promoted sides (D3 L3), having won five in a row before that. The Clarets have failed to score in either such game this season, drawing 0-0 with West Brom and losing 1-0 to Leeds.

Fulham are looking to win consecutive Premier League games for the first time since April 2019 when they won three in a row, while they last won back-to-back away games in the top-flight in August 2013.

There have been just 22 goals scored in Burnley’s home Premier League games this season (9 for, 13 against), the fewest total netted at a Premier League stadium in 2020-21.

Fulham have won 61 per cent of their points this season in away games (11 of 18) – the only sides with a larger share of points won on the road in the Premier League this season are Everton (62 per cent) and Brighton (62 per cent).

Fulham have only won one of their 18 Premier League away games on Wednesday (D6 L11), failing to win each of their last 16 such matches since beating Derby in January 2002 (1-0).

Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez has been involved in six goals in his last three starts against Fulham in all competitions (four goals, two assists), scoring twice and assisting another in the Clarets’ 3-0 win over the London side in the FA Cup this season.

Following his brace last time against Everton, Josh Maja is looking to become the first Fulham player to score in each of his first two starts in the Premier League since Pavel Pogrebnyak in February 2012.
