Fulham go to Turf Moor tonight having failed to win since 1951.
Silva said: "I've been trying and learning all the moments and all the challenges ahead of myself, but every single week, as you said, every single week that we play, the numbers are not amazing for us, but we have been breaking so many of those numbers as well, it's been incredible.
"OK, I love this type of challenge. I love it, because if the club didn't achieve it in the past, there is a reason there and right now we can change the story. Simple as that.
"Massive respect of course with Burnley. I know, not just as a Fulham manager, other clubs that I was at as well, that it's always a tough place to go. This period of the year probably even more, but it is what it is, we have to face it.
"Some games are more enjoyable to play, other games you have to face the game in a way that the game should be played, being more controlled sometimes, other moments to be under pressure.
"But OK, the numbers are there and they are there for a reason, but they are there to be broken as well."
