Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.

For this weekend's games, he takes on Felix White, guitarist with 86TVs and a Fulham fan.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Fulham will be without striker Raul Jimenez after his red card against Newcastle, but I don't think they will struggle for goals without him.

I feel like I say the same thing every week about Burnley but they aren't going to change.

They need something badly from this game, but they look like a team that just aren't quite good enough for the Premier League.

Felix's prediction: 2-0

This is the big one. I'm going to be there with Tailenders co-host Jimmy Anderson, who supports Burnley and, I mean this sincerely, we will have the greatest privilege in football because we will be sitting in the actual cottage at Craven Cottage to watch the game.

The dressing rooms are directly underneath it and it's like Fulham Valhalla in there. You feel like you're going to be walking past the ghosts of our great players of the past. It's like the spirits of our legends live in that cottage.

Burnley are struggling, Fulham are flying and we are buzzing after Wednesday, so I think the mood will be celebratory.

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany admits he loves the hectic Premier League Christmas schedule, despite claiming it "doesn't make sense".

The Clarets face Fulham, Liverpool and Aston Villa in the space of a week as they look to haul themselves out of the bottom three.

But rather than bemoaning the number of games, Kompany has learned to embrace it.

"I love it," Kompany said, "because it doesn't make sense. I've always loved it.

"It is a romantic feeling of England sometimes, the country of common sense. Things that don't make sense get appreciated by everyone. During the Christmas period, your families are travelling in and there are so many people in your house.

"If you have half a smile, that might have an impact on your game the next day because you're in a different mindset.

"And yet it is the most special period of the year. You get tested physically and mentally. You never see as many happy faces in a stadium as during that period. I always had Swansea away on New Year's Day for some reason! In the one hotel that was having the festivities and with an early kick off.

"Why? I don't know, but I came to enjoy it."

Kompany denied he was frustrated by the fact he and his side are travelling to London so close to Christmas.

He added: "I'm not complaining and I won't let the players either. It is part of the culture."

There is no sugar coating it - Burnley's Premier League campaign has been poor. We are nearly halfway through the season and we are second from bottom with just eight points.

The majority of the fan base has now accepted relegation, with only the blindly optimistic still thinking we can get out of it.

To put things into perspective, Burnley will need to be looking at getting another 25 points minimum to be in with a shout of survival, probably more to actually stay up. That is 1.19 points per game, when so far Burnley have managed 0.47.

So, if I was going to ask Santa for anything it would just be a simple request - three points please. Because you know what it is like - despite everything I have just said, three points this weekend in a tough game against Fulham will give us all some hope again, and perhaps more importantly, some Christmas cheer.

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany says Saturday's opponents Fulham deserve credit for their approach to becoming a sustainable Premier League club.

Marco Silva's side finished 10th in their first season back in the top flight last season and find themselves 11th after 17 games this term.

Kompany says the Cottagers have built a competitive squad and are "ready" to challenge at this level.

"We always mention the Brightons and Brentfords who consistently built over a period of time to be successful," Kompany said in his news conference. "But Fulham in their own way are one of those clubs too.

"The profile of player has been carefully selected, there is cohesion in the squad now. They've gone down and come back stronger; a lot of the players are between the ages of 26 and 30 so are ready for this league.

"It is a healthy squad and they are a club that deserves a positive mention for the work they've done over the years."
