Sutton's predictions: Burnley v Brentfordpublished at 11:17 GMT 28 February
11:17 GMT 28 February
Burnley are still competitive, still scrapping and still picking up points. Their players are still playing for Scott Parker but, even so, it's still not going to be enough to keep them up.
The Clarets' draw at Chelsea last week was a good result and they could even have won that game, too, but they didn't. That lack of wins has been their problem all season, not their performances.
They have only won four of their 27 games so far and I think they are going to need to win five of their final 11 to stay up from here - and that's not going to happen.
I don't think anyone saw Brentford's home defeat by Brighton coming last week - I didn't anyway - but I am still going to back them at Turf Moor.
It's going to be another tight one but I can see Igor Thiago getting back on the scoresheet with the winner. That's as exact as predictions can get.
Burnley v Brentford: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 19:44 GMT 27 February

Matt Jones BBC Sport journalist
After a slip against Brighton & Hove Albion last time out, surprise European hopefuls Brentford will be looking to get back on track when they visit relegation-threatened Burnley on Saturday (15:00 GMT) in the Premier League.
Despite the 2-0 defeat, Brentford are still in seventh spot in the table. There are seven teams within five points of Keith Andrews' side, though, meaning the congested mid-table could be mixed up significantly in the coming weeks.
As for Burnley, they need a huge upturn in form to pull themselves out of trouble. They are fighting, though, as evidenced by their last-gasp equaliser at Chelsea last weekend.
Clarets continue to fight
The draw at Stamford Bridge means Burnley are eight points away from safety and, while that does look to be a mountain to climb, there is some historical precedent for a team getting themselves out of a similar hole.
Portsmouth managed to survive in 2005–06 when they were eight points from safety with 11 games to play. West Bromwich Albion also did so in 2004–05, albeit they had two games in hand on their relegation rivals.
The Burnley players still seem to believe, too. That much was evident at Chelsea and in the previous Premier League fixture, when they bounced back from 2-0 down at Crystal Palace to win 3-2.
In fact, since their 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United, no team in the division has earned more points from losing positions than Scott Parker's side.
In their past 11 league games, Burnley have lost only four. Crucially, though, they have won just one. If they are to mirror the heroics of Portsmouth from 19 years ago, that is something they will need to remedy in the remaining weeks of the campaign.
Open encounter could suit the Bees
If Burnley are going to go on the front foot in search of wins and potentially leave space to be exploited on the counter-attack, that could suit Brentford and the way they play. Only Chelsea have scored more than Brentford's five goals this season from direct attacks.
Brentford have also put together the fewest build-ups - defined by Opta as an open-play sequence that contains 10 or more passes and either ends in a shot or has at least one touch in the box - in the league this season. The Bees have just 19, while Manchester City lead the way with 138.
Burnley are second-lowest in that category, and the numbers seem to suggest that this fixture could be one where the ball changes hands frequently.
Burnley (14.7%) and Brentford (14.5%) are the two teams with the highest long-pass percentage in the Premier League this season. Indeed, Burnley made 79 long passes in this season's reverse fixture between these two sides - the most by any team in a game in 2025–26.
The style has undoubtedly worked for Brentford and their star forward, Igor Thiago, who has plundered 17 goals already this season in the Premier League.
The Brazilian has hit his worst spell of the campaign heading into this fixture, though. Since scoring five goals in two games against Everton and then Sunderland earlier this year, Thiago's only strike in his last six games was a penalty in the away win at Newcastle United.

Watch January signing James Ward-Prowse speak to BBC Radio Lancashire about his move from West Ham, the relegation battle, and "feeling respected" at his new club.
"You can sense there is a real freedom and a togetherness," the midfielder said.
"That's the one thing I was surprised with coming through the door.
"It's difficult to know how the group is going to be considering the league table but everyone is positive and pulling in the right direction.
"It was a difficult few months [at West Ham] for reasons I'm still not sure of. I wanted to get out and focus on what I can do. Coming into an environment where you feel respected, wanted and appreciated has gone a long way."

Burnley boss Scott Parker has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Brentford at Turf Moor (15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On a win at Crystal Palace and draw at Chelsea in the Clarets' last two games, Parker said: "It's done a lot really. Some real positive results. We're in a good place and the players feel that and certainly round the place as well. We need to maintain that now, we have a massive game at the weekend where we want another result."
On the relegation battle: "There's always challenges and there's been many this year. We're trying to take stock of every game as it comes. We've been able through a real determination and unbelievable resilience to pick up points and be hugely competitive really. There have been some bumps but the mindset and everything about us has been spot on."
Parker said: "The difference between us and the other two promoted teams is home form. Our home form has been nowhere near as good and we certainly haven't picked up enough points at home for many reasons and you can see that in the last few weeks in terms of the stadium and our performances."
On giving the fans something to cheer for: "Our home stadium needs to be exactly that. It's our responsibility to give our fans that hope and energy but for sure we're gonna need them as well. I hope the fans come with optimism and understanding of what this group has been through and how they've come out of that. I'd like to hope, well demand actually the fans come and get behind this team."
Parker issued a rallying cry before the weekend's match: "It's a massive game for us. Let's bring some others involved into this [relegation battle]. We've been chasing this down for some time now, and been in this position a long time, and we've always had our gloves on and been punching away. At times we've not really got a knockout and at other times we've hit the floor but we're always in this. Let's stick together and go and get a result at the weekend. Get a result and suddenly it's a different story and others get bought into this."
How has he viewed Bees boss Keith Andrews' start in management?: "Massively impressed. I know Keith pretty well - he's an intelligent guy and somebody who has earned the right to be at his level. This is someone's who put in the had yards. I have huge respect for Keith and he has done a fantastic job. I look forward to seeing him at the weekend and having a chat."

'Very impressive' showings undermined by racial abusepublished at 12:07 GMT 24 February

How, in 2026, are we still reading headlines of racial abuse being directed at Premier League (and no doubt other) players? This week, police forces across the country will be investigating six separate incidents of online racial abuse following games in England and Scotland alone. Two of those incidents came from Burnley's clash with Chelsea, with both Hannibal Mejbri and Wesley Fofana being targeted.
Let me say this loud and clear for those at the back: discrimination in any form is wrong; behaviour which seeks to intimidate, offend or harm an individual based on their perceived race, colour, ethnicity, nationality or national origins is wrong; posting your hate behind anonymous and faceless social media profiles does not make you immune from consequences.
We have to do more as a society to eliminate this behaviour once and for all. As the saying goes, to fight racism, we have to be proactively anti-racist.
For all the pressure that Scott Parker and his team are under, they have quietly delivered two very impressive back to back results; firstly, coming back from 2-0 down to win 2-3 at Crystal Palace, before levelling against Chelsea deep into stoppage time on Saturday afternoon.
Let's get the negatives out of the way first; in both games the Clarets conceded very early goals and that is something Parker has to get under control. There is little point persisting with a system of five at the back if you are going to invite so much pressure onto your back line. Never mind the immediate impact it has on your game plan.
But irrespective of that, Burnley delivered something that has been lacking for a while – grit and determination. The Clarets may well have left it too late to have any meaningful impact on this season, but it would help build some bridges with the fans if they go down with a fight.
Danny: Absolutely cringe worthy watching Chelsea. It's no coincidence that we've dropped points again at home. We have no divine right to beat Burnley, but with better finishing and an experienced manager at the helm, surely we would have got three points. Nothing yet has changed from the previous manager. Dodgy keeper, squad rotation, unsettled back four, unable to see out games. Disciplinary record and the choice of subs awful. The players are reasonably good. Unfortunately, it looks like Liam Rosenior is a puppet to high management and when we don't win anything and finish sixth, the next one will come through the door. Doing my head in. Most of the people that sit round me don't go any more. They sell the tickets to tourists. This is the new Chelsea! Year of the horse shirts for sale in the megastore!
Jarvis: A display of everything that is wrong with Chelsea. Fully expect Cole Palmer to be gone in the summer. Woeful.
Alan: Wesley Fofana's sheer stupidity has cost Chelsea two points. Saying that, the whole team performance was, once again, nowhere near good enough. No top five finish, no Champions League - forget it, Chelsea.
David: I have been a Chelsea fan for 40 years. The team is full of average players - because the cost of the players they assume they are good. The new regime is happy with keeping in Europe but not interested in winning. Average team with very average manager.
Burnley fans
Rickers: Draws against Manchester United,Liverpool,Tottenham and now Chelsea show that this team can compete. Sadly, results against other teams have not been good enough across the season. Still, we keep going!
Alan: The positive is the point. The negatives is an inexhaustible list. Schoolboy defending. Constantly giving what little ball they had away in dangerous areas of the pitch. No physicality until Ashley Barnes, when it took two Chelsea defenders to mark him, leaving space for other Burnley players in the box. I am at a complete loss as to the tactics Burnley try to deploy at the start of games, as any plan instantly degenerates into headless chicken mode. Please get people in with the capability of instilling into the players the basics of facing forward and playing in the opposition half, rather than running back towards their own goal in desperation.
Vincent: This team are working very hard for Scot Parker. Unexpected draws against Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea, beating Crystal Palace away - if we're going down, we go down fighting. I think we need to hang on to Parker. He doesn't deserve boos. And never boo your own team!
David: Parker seems to be lost and devoid of ideas. It's time for the return of the king... bring back Sean Dyche!
Chelsea 1-1 Burnley: What Parker and Flemming saidpublished at 18:46 GMT 21 February
18:46 GMT 21 February
Media caption,
Burnley manager Scott Parker speaking to BBC Sport: "A little bit frustrated but overall I can't be anything but proud of the team. Overall our performance was worthy of the point we gained - and maybe it could have been three.
"In the first half I felt we were getting into the game, second half you play a quality side with 10 men and sometimes that quality can still prove problematic. But our desire and intent was first class."
On Zian Flemming's goal from James Ward-Prowse's corner: "Incredible header. A set-piece straight off the training ground in terms of how we free up that space. James is on the money every time."
On the relegation battle: "We were at fault last weekend for bringing the noise back on us [in exiting the FA Cup to League One Mansfield].
"At times with the level we have come up against we have fallen short. What we have never fallen short on is togetherness, commitment and resilience. The resilience of the group to pick themselves up and keep doing what they do... this team has serious resilience and hopefully we're still in this."
Burnley goalscorer Zian Flemming speaking to Sky Sports: "It's a really good result and you would take it before the game. But with the game ending against 10 men I feel some disappointment now.
"I think we can be proud of ourselves. The team showed great resilience, we stayed in the game until the very end and it says something that I am here disappointed with only a point.
"It sounds weird that I am disappointed with a point at Chelsea, but we need wins. As soon as we got to 1-1 we decided to go all-in for the three points. To get so close, we can still be proud, but it is a bit of mixed feelings."
On their fight to avoid relegation: "Everyone knows that the gap is massive if you look at the table. But of course we can [stay up]. It is not going to be easy, we know we need a miracle or something extraordinary.
"We are trying now to put in an extraordinary input to try and get and extraordinary outcome."
On manager Scott Parker: "He is on the front line and us players are right behind him. He will never give up and that is something he tells us and brings to us as people."

Following their 3-2 victory against Crystal Palace last week, Burnley have avoided defeat in consecutive Premier League away games in London for the first time since March 2024, which also included a draw against Chelsea.
Analysis: Resilience and Ward-Prowse quality earn pointpublished at 18:04 GMT 21 February

Scott Parker's team endured long spells without the ball but their point earned at Stamford Bridge owes to a committed defensive display and a brilliant set-piece from James Ward-Prowse.
The likes of Joe Worrall, Maxime Esteve and Bashir Humphreys all made goal-saving interventions when blocking shots from Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro.
It also left goalkeeper Martin Dubravka not as busy as he would have otherwise expected to be in west London, although he had to be alert coming for crosses into the box.
"The player showed a real resilience to go a goal down early but stay in the game," Parker said at Stamford Bridge. "We grew into the first half, and are maybe frustrated we weren't able to get all three points."
That frustration will come after Ward-Prowse delivered two almost identical set-pieces - the first was a perfect delivery for Zian Flemming's goal but Jacob Bruun Larsen could not score from an identical chance.
Parker added: "[Ward-Prowse] had real quality - he is a real set-piece specialist. When you want to deliver a ball, you know where it is going. All the set-piece coaches can do the best blocks or runs but with James it is pretty easy because you know if it is delivered on the money then you have a chance."
Of course, Chelsea's red card helped them swing the momentum but resilience gave Burnley their foundations for the draw.
"The longer you stay in the game, the more the confidence grows," goalscorer Flemming added. "The red card is a significant moment because at that moment we could really attack and put them under pressure. We did that really well."

Chelsea v Burnley: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 19:36 GMT 20 February
19:36 GMT 20 February
Chris Adams BBC Sport journalist
Liam Rosenior's 100% record as Chelsea head coach may have come to an end last week, but his side's excellent league form since he took charge is indisputable and they will be big favourites to return to winning ways when struggling Burnley visit Stamford Bridge on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
Four wins and a draw under the Englishman have propelled them from eighth in the table to fifth, with Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro contributing nine of the Blues' 13 goals in those five games.
Blues know the score
Both players were on the scoresheet in the 2-2 draw with Leeds United on 10 February, the 24th league game in which the west London side have found the net this term. No team has scored in more individual games.
But while goals haven't been a problem under Rosenior or his predecessor Enzo Maresca, holding on to a lead has, especially at Stamford Bridge. No top-flight club has dropped more points from a winning position at home this season than Chelsea.
The Blues boast a more than favourable record against Burnley - they've lost just one of their 19 Premier League encounters, winning 13 of them.
Having lost 2-1 at home to Sunderland and 3-1 away at Leeds this term, Chelsea will want to avoid an unwanted first – they've never lost to all three promoted sides in a single league campaign before.
Parker on the precipice?
Any optimism Burnley fans gleaned from their remarkable comeback victory over Crystal Palace last week – a first league win in 17 games – was quickly extinguished when their side were dumped out of the FA Cup at the fourth round stage by Mansfield Town of League One.
With Burnley 19th in the table, nine points adrift of safety, head coach Scott Parker's position has come under increasing scrutiny and the league's worst defence – with 51 goals conceded – will surely be tested again against a free-scoring Chelsea side.
Jaidon Anthony's leveller against Palace, his sixth league goal of the campaign, made him the Clarets' top scorer this season and indeed the former Bournemouth forward leads the way for the Clarets in several attacking metrics.
Worryingly, ahead of a second successive Premier League trip to London, Burnley have conceded at least twice in each of their last eight top-flight away games in the capital.
In fact, the east Lancashire side haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last 23 league away games in England's top tier, since a 2-0 win at Fulham in December 2023. It's the longest run by a side in the competition since Aston Villa's 26-game stint between February 2016 and July 2020.

So much for me thinking that Burnley might give their fans something to cheer about by going on a good FA Cup run.
After their brilliant fightback to beat Crystal Palace in their last league game, the Clarets made changes against Mansfield and went out on their own patch to a League One side.
I just can't see anything other than a home win for Chelsea here, even with their wobble last time at Stamford Bridge where Leeds fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 - Liam Rosenior's side won't let that happen again.

You can listen to BBC Radio Lancashire's commentary on Saturday's game on 95.5FM, DAB & Freeview 712 with Gary Hunt & Glen Little.
Here are the key lines from Parker's news conference:
Parker confirmed Armando Broja will not be fit to return to his former club: "He has picked up a little bit of an issue, which has been ongoing for a few weeks now, and we have had to intervene. He shouldn't be too long - hopefully a couple of weeks from now."
He was asked about longer-term absentees Axel Tuanzebe and Connor Roberts: "Everyone else, apart from the long terms, is fit and well so we go down there with that squad. Axel the same[as Broja] - probably a couple of weeks away. Connor is more long term - I don't see him being available in the coming weeks or months."
On losing to League One Mansfield in the FA Cup after winning away at Crystal Palace in the Premier League: "There's definitely a comedown, for sure, and a little bit of a fallout. It's a game we had enough quality on the pitch to win. We lacked real quality in the final stages and that is where it can be really critical. We are hugely disappointed and frustrated with the result, coming off such a positive one against Palace. It was something we could build on but we let ourselves down."
On returning to his former club and facing Liam Rosenior: "I had some time there at Chelsea. Good experience. A fantastic football club and I am going up against Liam, who has done fantastically well in a short time. I came across him when he was assistant to Wayne [Rooney] at Derby and spent time in his company, and then he went abroad and did fantastically well. We are really looking forward to the game."
Asked if he retains the support of the club's hierarchy, Parker replied: "That question constantly comes up. I understand your questioning but I have been really consistent in what I have said. I understand it's a performance-driven business and we are working tirelessly to get the best out of this group of players, so we will carry on trying to do that."
On the form of top scorer Jadon Anthony: "There's still more [to come]. Jadon has done brilliantly this year in his first full season in the Premier League. He had a little dip but has bounced back very well. There's more and that will come with more experience and understanding of the league. He is a bright boy, hugely talented and just needs some time to progress. I have been hugely impressed by him."
They were more competitive and positive in every position on the pitch. Some of the play - and play-acting - was embarrassing.
We have heard so many times from the chairman and the manager this season that this is a side that won't stop fighting and that works hard.
I am sorry, but that simply isn't translating to the pitch. Football fans aren't stupid, we can see what is put in front of us.
I would despair at how bad this season has gotten, but I am not sure I have even got that in me any more.
I can't even bring myself to get angry and shout and scream at anyone. I just feel defeated. And I am not alone.
The Parker situation has gone past the point of no return now. Sure, he is out of his depth as a Premier League manager (Bournemouth and Fulham fans warned us, but we so desperately wanted it to work for him) but the bigger problem, for me, is the inaction from the board.
Either sack him or come out and openly explain what the plan is. Doing neither has left the club in limbo, the season written off and the fans perplexed at precisely what our goals are.
What is our transfer policy? What happens if Parker takes us up again next year? Why can't we just play in a Claret shirt?
Has Burnley FC got an identity crisis? The fans think so.
Anyway, 25 weeks until the start of the Championship...
Parker 'needs to keep his whole squad happy'published at 11:35 GMT 16 February

Burnley manager Scott Parker would have been trying to "keep his whole squad happy" with rotation in the FA Cup as they battle for Premier League survival, says former top-flight goalkeeper David James.
The Clarets fell victim to the shock of the FA Cup fourth round so far with their 2-1 home defeat by League One Mansfield, after boss Parker made nine changes to his side
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, James said: "If Burnley were mid-table, and a win or two away from guaranteed survival, then they can [make some changes]. They can say 'the team is in a good place now, let's make a few changes and go for the cup'.
"But if he doesn't play the players he played in that game, the nine changes, goes with his first team, even if they win then he is going to change them for the next Premier League game.
"The players that haven't been used at all in the leaguer would be thinking 'hang on, I'm not part of any kind of survival thing now'. If they're mid-table it is fine, but because they are in a relegation battle, he needs to keep his whole squad happy, but of course [Parker's] expecting to win."
With Burnley sitting 19th in the Premier League table, the cup exit at the hands of opposition two leagues lower has put the pressure on Parker's position.
"If he [Parker] is good for the Championship next year, which he might be, is likely to be, surely there's an argument that you get someone else in now to see out the rest of the Premier League and then they should be [thinking about bringing him back]," suggested James.
"If he can't keep them up then it doesn't matter whether someone else can. Bringing in someone else who you know at the end of another promotional season they're going to get into Premier League and do the same thing again, I mean you're only asking him [Parker] to do the same thing in two years time, surely?"
Ian: Simply not good enough from Scott Parker, the team or the chairman. Had enough watching this rubbish putting my hard-earned money and effort on a weekend. Not going until radical changes are made, season ticket or not! Worst performances this season I can remember and been a Claret 63 years.
Stan: What an insult to the fans, they took away the last bit of our season for no reason whatsoever. Rotation who do they think we are? Disgraceful disrespect.
Graeme: Pathetic. Why make so many changes when the so-called forwards could have found some form? The forwards who missed the easiest of chances should tear up their contracts and leave the club in shame and take the hopeless Parker with them.
Ian: We were toothless from start to finish. The squad players showed no desire to show what they can do. Too many times we looked weak on the ball. Barnes will always be a Burnley hero but his time has come to hang his boots up. Parker unfortunately has to go.
Mark: A terrible performance from an all-but-relegated side. A side lacking any belief in themselves or the manager and a board of directors who thought they could buy players cheapish and sell for big profits. Not this time Burnley, you've been found out.
John: The owner, manager and team should be ashamed of themselves. The perfect time to get a result and all we got was a group of players who looked they could not be bothered to even turn up, let alone give a display to give the fans some encouragement. Time for a clear out.

Burnley are not the first, nor will they be the last, Premier League side to ring the changes for a cup game against lower opposition.
But having been dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Cardiff City back in September, the FA Cup was the supporters' only chance to distract themselves from looming relegation.
"It is embarrassing, the changes he made. Play your strongest team. He made nine changes, and the second half was embarrassing," former Burnley defender David Unsworth said on BBC Radio Lancashire.
"It is an embarrassing afternoon for Burnley. It gives the owner a decision to make now. He has to listen to the fans, they are not happy.
"For the first time I have witnessed all home ends of the stadium booing and disgruntlement. The owner has a decision to make."
Chairman Alan Pace, the leader of the club's owners ALK Capital, is not the most popular at Turf Moor either at the moment.
This week he angered fans when, during an interview with BBC Football Focus, he dismissed fan concerns as coming from those who "just play this game on a computer somewhere".
He went on to liken those same fans to three-year-old toddlers having a tantrum.
Pace used Saturday's programme notes to clarify his words, writing: "I did not intend for my words to upset, but I did mean what I was trying to say which was that, just because some are upset, does not mean that things are dire and without hope."
Many Burnley fans will be hoping Pace calls time on Scott Parker's spell in charge, though the former Premier League midfielder said he is confident is his own position at the club.
"I am very comfortable in my position at this present moment in time. We have lost a game of football today against a team we should be beating," Parker told BBC Sport.
"We had numerous chances. Of course you are always going to judge a result and today is a bad one, we take the flak for that, the team and myself."

Burnley boss Scott Parker, speaking to BBC Sport: "When I analyse the game, we missed too many chances today - glorious chances where we could have put the game out of sight. We weren't clinical enough, we missed some big chances and while it stays at 1-0, you are always on an edge and that was proven today.
"When you don't go through to the next round there will always be questions asked about that [team selection], but I don't think that was the main factor today. We lacked a little something in those final moments. That was where we have fallen way short today.
"What we didn't get was that little bit of quality which was needed. The fight and spirit... It was a team that had endeavour and trying for sure but the fine margins of what we do is that you need to put the ball in the net when you have big opportunities."
On confidence in his own position at the club: "Yes. More than confident and I have said that throughout. I'm sure someone has asked you to pass that question on to me. I am very comfortable in my position at this present moment in time. We have lost a game of football today against a team we should be beating. We had numerous chances. Of course you are always going to judge a result and today is a bad one, we take the flak for that, the team and myself."

Burnley lost a game having led at half time for the first time since November 2022 (5-2 v Sheffield United in the Championship), doing so in the FA Cup for the first time since January 2022 (2-1 v Huddersfield).
This is the first time since 2016-17 Burnley have been eliminated from the FA Cup by a side in the third tier or lower (1-0 v Lincoln in the fifth round).
