The Cottagers have narrowed the gap to safety and 17th placed Newcastle are now just seven points away, though the Clarets are just a point further ahead, which presents the visitors with an excellent opportunity to boost their hopes of survival. The danger man for the visitors could be Josh Maja, who struck a double at Goodison Park after arriving on loan from Bordeaux, and Parker is delighted with the Nigeria international’s impact:

“What a way to start, full Premier League debut for us and to score two goals and for us to win the game it was pretty special for him really. I’m really conscious, I don’t want to put a lot on someone so young’s shoulders but I’ve been very impressed in the short space of time I’ve been working with Josh and hopefully that can continue really.

“He’s fitted in very, very well. I think he’s come into a young group, a real energetic upbeat group of players and he’s fitted in to that bracket very, very well.”

Prediction

This is a tough one given both teams are in form and the ramifications are huge for both teams, but the Clarets have proven their worth in head-to-head games against teams they usually battle against to survive in the Premier League and we’ll lean towards Dyche’s side keeping it tight at the back and capitalising on what will likely be just a few chances to take this one. Burnley 1-0 Fulham.
