Fulham boss Marco Silva expects to face a desperate Sheffield United on Saturday.

Silva says the Blades won't be giving up on Premier League survival.

“A team that is going to fight really hard to get the points, definitely," Silva said. “They are not in the position that they wanted, for sure.

“When you are at the bottom of the table, it's really tough, and every single game that you don't get points you know that you are getting more in trouble, all that stuff.

“But the reality is that, with some tough games, even some tough results as well, heavy results for them, they have been showing the capacity to react, and the last game is a good example.

“They went away from home, a tough place to go, and they were winning the game until the last stages of the match. They got just one point but it was a game where they performed well, they changed their formation, they changed some players as well.

“So of course we expect a tough game, it's always tough to play there, with the crowd, all the environment around.

“They are going to fight really hard because they still think that the chances are there for them to fight for, and they are going to do it to make it really hard for us."
