Goal-Keeper
His cleansheet against Crystal Palace the last time around was yet another testament to the sprawling expertise of Nick Pope.
Defenders
Recording one of his finest ever performances in Burnley’s colors, fullback Matthew Lowton scored against Crystal Palace to see him become the first pick from the club.
He’s joined by James Tarkowski and Erik Pieters with a cleansheet looking extremely likely for the home side come today. Fulham’s unprecedented cleansheet against Everton was done to the tenacity on show by Kenny Tete and Tosin Adarabioyo.
Midfielders
Harrison Reed’s diligent and unnerving commitment to Fulham’s attacks was rewarded with an assist against Everton.
Andre Zambo Anguissa who has the three assists to his name this season will be partnering Reed up for the tie. Burnley on the other hand will see us opt for Ashley Westwood courtesy of the two assists he’s pulled off.

Scorer of the three goals and three assists for Fulham this season, Ademola Lookman has contributed to the most number of goals for the club to see him retain his place in our side.
Burnley’s Jay Rodriguez needed a long time to come good for his side but with a goal and assist the last time around, he finally delivered a match winning display for the club.
