Fulham host Burnley on Saturday with kickoff at 11am EDT on USA Network. We still have one more week to go before England joins us on daylight savings time.
Burnley and Scott Parker are going back down to the Championship. That has been clear for months. Yet, Burnley have still managed to make a number of their recent matches competitive and they have cobbled together five points from the last five. That, combined with Fulham's traditional springtime downturn, has me pessimistic for this one. Fulham haven't scored in two consecutive matches against teams fighting off relegation. I will really be disappointed if Saturday becomes a third.
I haven't seen a team update yet, but hopefully Smith-Rowe is available again. Despite a goalless draw against Forest, I won't be surprised if the lineup is unchanged. I'd prefer to see Chukwueze over Bobb and I've lost confidence in Andersen, but I think Silva will stay consistent.
A shot at Europe has probably passed by already for Fulham, but if they don't get a win at home against Burnley, even the most optimistic Fulham supporter will have to say that the season is done.
