""It's not the first time he's performed at this level," said Silva. "When you talk about performing, he's a striker who can score in many different ways. When you look through his career, when he's playing, the numbers are there. Game by game, he's getting better and showing he's a proven Premier League striker.""
""It is never easy to play there," added Silva. "They have been very strong at home, achieving results away from home as well. They have the quality, the organisation, the manager, and the individual players. To play at Elland Road, we all know what it means. The home support is unbelievable, and they make it hard for the opposition. We played against them earlier this season [a 1-0 win at Craven Cottage] and it was a difficult game for us.""
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored nine Premier League goals in 19 appearances, helping Leeds sit eight points clear of the relegation zone. Only Antoine Semenyo, Igor Thiago and Erling Haaland have higher tallies this season. Marco Silva cites previous experience with Calvert-Lewin at Everton, where the striker scored 13 goals in 54 matches under Silva, as evidence of his proven capabilities. Fulham prepare to face Leeds at Elland Road, a ground where Leeds have been strong at home since late November. Fulham previously beat Leeds 1-0 earlier this season and Silva expects a difficult match.
