Team News: Andre Schurrle returns as one of five Fulham changes to face Burnley

Schurrle returns as one of five Fulham changes

Andre Schurrle has returned to Fulham's starting lineup as one of five changes to face Burnley in this afternoon's Premier League clash.

The Germany international was a late sub in last weekend's 3-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur, but he is recalled from the off today as the Cottagers go in search of their first points of the season.

Home boss Slavisa Jokanovic has also handed a start to 2017-18 regular Marcus Bettinelli in goal, while Kevin McDonald, Luciano Vietto and Denis Odoi are the others to be brought in.

Fabri, Calum Chambers, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Ryan Sessegnon and Aboubakar Kamara all drop out.

Sean Dyche has named an unchanged XI for the third Premier League game running, meanwhile, as Burnley attempt to rotate domestic and European football.

Five players remain from Thursday's playoff qualifying defeat to Olympiacos in the Europa League, with Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Stephen Ward, Jack Cork, Chris Wood and Jeff Hendrick featuring for the second time in three days.

Fulham: Bettinelli, Odoi, McDonald, Mitrovic, Cairney, Schurrle, Vietto, Le Marchand, Fosu-Mensah, Bryan, Seri Subs: Fabri, Sessegnon, Chambers, Johansen, Christie, Anguissa, Kamara

Burnley: Hart, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Ward, Lennon, Cork, Gudmundsson, Westwood, Wood, Hendrick Subs: Heaton, Taylor, Vokes, Barnes, Gibson, Bardsley, Long
