Prediction: 1-1
Fulham
Burnley will be looking to build on a thrilling 3-0 win at Crystal Palace when they host Fulham at their Turf Moor on Wednesday evening. The Clarets are eight points clear of the relegation zone, but they need to keep on raising their form if they are to avoid the drop. Jay Rodriguez should keep his place in the starting XI as Chris Wood is unlikely to be risked against Fulham.
The Cottagers, on the other hand, did remarkably well to record a routine 2-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday, with the team keeping their survival hopes alive. Since both teams should go for a win in the postponed fixture, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Aleksandar Mitrovic is unlikely to recover in time to face the Clarets, while midfielder Tom Cairney remains on the sidelines with a knee problem.
Highlighted Player (Chris Wood):
Chris Wood is a New Zealand international who was born on 7 December, 1991. Wood plays as a striker and he began his senior career at Waikato FC. In 2009 he joined West Bromwich Albion, but he played no more than 21 league games for the Baggies.

Highlighted Team (Fulham):
Fulham are a club from London that play in the Premier League. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition, but managed to return in season 2018/2019.

Fulham finished the 2008/2009 Premier League campaign in seventh place in the standings and that is considered the team’s biggest success, speaking of their participation in the Premier League.
The Cottagers played in the Europa League twice and they did well to reach the FA Cup final in 1975, but they were beaten by their local rivals West Ham United in the title game (0-2). Chelsea are regarded as Fulham’s bitter rivals as well and the two teams take on each other in the North London derby.
