Marco Silva stated that the team is fully prepared to face Liverpool at their peak.

The clashes between Fulham and Liverpool have been consistently captivating in recent years . Their last four encounters have seen 17 goals scored, with each side securing one victory and two draws. Following Liverpool's string of defeats in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League, Marco Silva has been asked whether Saturday's match will present a golden opportunity for his team to achieve better results.

Marco Silva said: "No, it's always a real opportunity. As you said, our recent encounters with them have been quite good in terms of results, performance, and the course of the game. We've shown good form and achieved some ideal results, while they've always been very competitive, both at home and away. That's exactly the level we hope to reach again."

“Of course, all clubs experience ups and downs. For big clubs, any defeat is often more painful. I know that a defeat is a defeat. For example, before the game against Nottingham Forest, we suffered two defeats in a short period of time, and I also talked to the players about it afterwards.”

"The same applies to other clubs, players, and coaches; it's part of the season. Of course, how you deal with adversity often plays a decisive role. We just had a good win, and despite falling behind at one point, we ultimately won beautifully at home. We go into the international break with three points, and in my opinion, those three points are crucial for us."

"Hopefully we can start the game in the same way against a very good team. Indeed, their form has been inconsistent recently, suffering three consecutive defeats in different competitions, and it remains to be seen whether this will affect the game. We are fully prepared to face the strongest Liverpool team and hope to show the same competitiveness as last season and in our first encounter this season, and deliver the same performance again."
