Fulham boss Marco Silva: Tottenham trip a great challenge

Fulham boss Marco Silva admits they face a tough trip on Monday at Tottenham.

The Cottagers beat Spurs in the Carabao Cup, but Silva concedes Monday will be a different proposition.

“We look forward to the match, with trust and belief in ourselves, [while] respecting Tottenham," Silva said. “Tottenham is doing an amazing start to the season. They are at the top of the table and it's clear why.

“Not just because of the results, of course they had to achieve results to be there, but the way they have been achieving the results has been really good, and we have to give credit to them.

“They have had one bad result, if I can say that, and it was against us in the Carabao Cup at the Cottage. Different scenario, different competition, they made some changes, we did as well.

“That was a good evening for us, but it's going to be tough playing them there, they are in a very good moment, the way they have been playing, the connection between them is growing as well, and it's going to be a great challenge for us.

“It's going to demand really hard work from ourselves and very good organisation and, after, the belief and the courage to play our way."
