To the relief of many it's the turn of football this week, & we begin with Fulham v Burnley at Craven Cottage. Is there a nicer stadium name than Craven Cottage? Sadly, the Cottage is long gone, but it's still a well-sited stadium, right on the banks of the Thames.
Fulham are all but relegated, but if they win this, Burnley will be getting very nervous, as they are next in line.

Opta stats
Fulham have won eight of their last nine home league meetings with Burnley, with the only blip in that run a 2-3 loss in March 2016 in the Championship.
Burnley have won just one of their five Premier League meetings with Fulham (D2 L2), losing both visits to Craven Cottage by an aggregate score of 7-2.
Burnley beat Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage in the FA Cup earlier this season - the last time the Clarets won two away games against the same side in a season was vs Blackpool in 1992-93.
Since winning 1-0 at Liverpool to go level on points with Brighton in 17th, Fulham have picked up just one point from their last 18 available in the Premier League (W0 D1 L5) and are on the brink of relegation back to the Championship.
Burnley won 4-0 at Wolves in their last away league game and are looking for back-to-back wins on the road for the first time since July 2020. The Clarets have scored 12 goals in their last six away league games (2 per game), as many as they had in their previous 18 outside of Turf Moor (0.7 per game).
Fulham have scored just nine goals in their 17 Premier League home games this season, netting more than once on just two occasions. No English top-flight team has ever failed to reach double figures for home goals in a single campaign before.
Burnley have lost four of their last five Premier League games (W1), more than they had in their previous 12 in the competition (W4 D5 L3). The Clarets have opened the scoring in three of their four defeats in this run, including last time out against West Ham.
