Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic will be hoping Burnley's Europa League exploits will help his side to a first Premier League win, but he is still expecting a tough encounter.
"We are going to try to find some kind of benefit from this game they are going to play tonight, but in the end we know what Burnley are about. They are never tired, they are running and fighting like a really crazy gang," he said.
"I have respect for them, respect for how they play football, and respect for all the successful steps they have made these few seasons."
Opposite number Sean Dyche is still dealing with the fallout from Burnley's 3-1 defeat at Olmpiakos and the sending off of Ben Gibson. He was not impressed with the ref or with the behaviour of the opposition.
Burnley are expected to rotate their squad once again following their midweek Europa League game when they travel to Fulham in the Premier League.
Sean Dyche made six changes for Thursday's 3-1 Europa League qualifying play-off first leg defeat at Olympiakos, with the likes of Joe Hart, James Tarkowski and Aaron Lennon dropping to the bench and Ben Mee being left out of the squad entirely.
But these players are expected to come back into the side as the Clarets look for their first Premier League win of the season after being beaten 3-1 by Watford last weekend.
