"Starting with the hosts, while Burnley might have only made their Premier League return this season, the Clarets have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their top-flight status this time around. Although Scott Parker's men might have signed off October with consecutive Premier League victories, the Lancashire-based outfit have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion."
"Shown a straight red card on what was his first Premier League start of the season, Brazilian defender Lucas Pires will miss out through suspension on Saturday evening. Likewise, brandished with a costly first-half booking at St. James' Park, former Manchester City ace Kyle Walker will serve his own respective one-match ban here. Bagging what turned out to be a last-gasp consolation strike against Newcastle last weekend and registering a fifth Premier League strike of the season, Zian Flemming should be handed a full recall."
Zian Flemming is the betting pick for over 0.5 shots on target ahead of Burnley versus Fulham at Turf Moor. Burnley face a severe relegation battle despite recent October wins, having lost six straight matches by an aggregate score of 13-4 and returning from the international break with a 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea. Lucas Pires and Kyle Walker are suspended for Burnley. Flemming scored a last-gasp consolation versus Newcastle and has five Premier League goals, and he is likely to be recalled. Florentino, on loan from Benfica, is set to start in midfield. Fulham have shown cause for concern this season.
