"My last words to them were about our recent record against City, and how it's an opportunity for us to change it, and play for it. Every time you go inside the pitch to play a football match, our aim is to win the game, and it's not going to be different tomorrow night. Let's go for it - it's big challenge for us, a challenge that we want to face, and we want to go in a direction that gives us the conditions to fight and to take the three points."
"Marco has been there for many years and it has always been a really tough game. It will be difficult. Their organisation is exceptional and every year, with the ball, they're getting even better."
Marco Silva wants Fulham to end an 18-match losing streak against Manchester City. Fulham have lost 18 consecutive matches to City since a 2-2 Premier League draw in September 2011. The last Fulham win over City was a 3-1 victory under Roy Hodgson in April 2009. Silva urged his players to view the fixture as an opportunity after Fulham's recent 2-1 win over Tottenham and stressed the aim to win and secure three points. Pep Guardiola warned of a difficult test and praised Fulham's organisation and improving play with the ball.
