Raul Jimenez has been fouled in four of his last five Premier League appearances, and he will face a challenge here against the forecasted back five of Burnley. Fulham only play with one striker, so Jimenez will often be left to contest duels on his own against three centre backs, making him a good option to watch for foul contributions here.

Jimenez has won nine fouls across his 10 starts in the Premier League this season (1.02 per 90) with the majority of these coming recently as it took some time for Jimenez to regain his starting role in the side. He’s a very combative player, as evidenced by the 21 fouls he’s committed across his 14 Premier League appearances this season (2.37 per 90) which can aid this selection as Jimenez is likely to really engage with Burnley’s back three.

Scott Parker has experimented with a back four in recent weeks, but to little success as Burnley have continued to lose games which may prompt him to return to a back three here. In any case, Jimenez’s main opponent is likely to be Esteve who is averaging 0.40 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League this season, but can be forced into a more hands on battle against the Fulham striker.

There is decent value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the exact same angle is priced as low as 1.2 with other major bookmakers.
