Scott Parker’s Burnley returns to Turf Moor on Saturday, looking to build on recent results and secure a vital win in their quest for Premier League survival.
Burnley comes into this match with a renewed sense of confidence after a 1–1 draw against Chelsea, thanks to a late equaliser by Zian Flemming. With four points from their last two matches—just one less than in their previous 16 games—they are gradually closing an eight-point gap to safety. Avoiding defeat today would equal their longest unbeaten streak of the season.
Brentford, on the other hand, is looking to recover from a surprising 2–0 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion. Still, they have been strong away from home recently, winning four of their last five matches. Currently seventh in the standings, they are keen on European qualification and will aim to take advantage of Burnley’s ongoing struggles at home.

Form
Burnley
Burnley has exhibited a stronger fighting spirit recently, following a dramatic 3–2 comeback win over Crystal Palace with a gritty 1–1 draw at Stamford Bridge. They’ve earned four points in their last two matches, a notable improvement compared to their prior form. However, their home performance is concerning, with no wins at Turf Moor since October, leading to a nine-match winless home streak.
Brentford
Brentford arrives at Turf Moor after winning four of their last five away league games, including strong wins against Aston Villa (1–0) and Newcastle (3–2). Although they faced a setback in the last match with a 2–0 loss to Brighton, which ended a three-match unbeaten streak, they have a solid record against promoted teams, winning 10 of their last 12 meetings with them, and are looking for a league double over Burnley.
Predicted Lineups
Burnley Predicted XI: Dubravka; Walker, Worrall, Esteve; Laurent, Ugochukwu, Hannibal, Humphreys; Edwards, Anthony; Flemming
