Silva on Fulham’s approach
Before the match, Fulham manager Marco Silva spoke to Sky Sports and gave an honest assessment of the task ahead. He said he likes to be ambitious but realistic, and described Liverpool’s home season as not being that different from last season.
Silva said his team are prepared for a tough match but believe they are capable of playing good football. He added that Fulham are hoping to reach their level again at Anfield, and stressed that this is another important fixture for the club.
“It’s another big game for us,” Silva said. “We want to restart in the best way possible [after the international break].”
Five changes make sense, says Silva
Silva also explained his decision to make five changes, saying it “made complete sense” after a demanding week for the squad. He described the period as physically and mentally taxing, and said he had used Friday’s training session to assess which players had recovered fully.
He noted that some players will need to feature again because he does not have many alternatives in certain positions. That, he said, is part of the challenge facing Fulham as they prepare for a match that should offer plenty of ingredients for a competitive contest.
With Liverpool and Fulham both looking to make their mark, the Anfield meeting promises to be a significant Premier League occasion. The teams head into the game with different pressures, but Silva’s comments suggest Fulham are approaching the fixture with belief as well as caution.
More updates will follow as the 5.30pm BST kick-off approaches and the match gets underway.
