Burnley vs Fulham kicks off on 13 Dec 2025 at 17:30 UTC at Turf Moor. It’s a big one near the bottom half of the Premier League table. Burnley are chasing a reset after a damaging run. Fulham are trying to steady, too, after recent setbacks.
Burnley vs Fulham match context
Burnley enter this round 19th, while Fulham sit 15th. That gap matters, but it is not huge. Fulham are only a few points above the danger zone. Burnley are already playing catch-up.
Burnley’s immediate issue is momentum. They have lost six straight league games. Reuters also notes a five-match losing streak in early December. Either way, the direction is clear.
Burnley vs Fulham form guide
Burnley form
Burnley have lost 11 of 15 league matches this season. They have also conceded 30 goals in those 15 games. That is a sharp jump from last season’s defensive profile.
Last weekend summed it up. Burnley lost 2-1 at Newcastle despite showing fight. They also played a long spell with 10 men.
What it means: Burnley can compete in moments, but they are leaking goals. They are also running out of clean “reset” games.
Fulham form
Fulham’s recent league sequence is W-L-W-W-L-L. That is 3 wins in 6, but the last two have gone against them.
They beat Tottenham 2-1 away in late November. Then came back-to-back home defeats, including Fulham 1-2 Crystal Palace last weekend. Fulham conceded the deciding goal late.
What it means: Fulham are not in free fall. But their margin is thin, especially when they switch off late.
Burnley vs Fulham head-to-head at Turf Moor
Here’s the weird part for this matchup: Burnley have been extremely hard for Fulham to beat at Turf Moor over the long haul.
Sports Mole notes Burnley are unbeaten in their last 29 home league meetings with Fulham. Fulham are also chasing their first away league win at Burnley since April 1951.
The overall historical record also leans Burnley, with 49 wins to Fulham’s 31 (and 21 draws) across all competitions.
Plain-English takeaway: Burnley’s form is poor, but this venue matchup has been a trap for Fulham for decades.
Burnley vs Fulham tactical matchup
This game looks like a clash between Burnley’s need for control and Fulham’s ability to punish mistakes.
Burnley’s biggest risk is the space they leave during their build-up. When they chase the game, they can open up. That has shown up in their goals-against numbers.
Fulham’s threat is clearer right now. Sports Mole highlights Harry Wilson delivering end product lately. He has been involved in a goal in each of his last three league appearances.
Tactical hinge: If Burnley start fast and stay level, Turf Moor gets loud and messy. If Fulham score first, Burnley’s structure can crack.
