Fulham boss Marco Silva expects to face a motivated West Ham on Sunday.

The Hammers go into the game on the back of Thursday's Europa League defeat at Bayer Leverkusen.

“[They're] a team that wants a response from the last game, like us," he said. “A team that is fighting to be in Europe again, and their position during the table, they want to probably to climb up or keep their place.

“That is what I'm thinking, I'm not going to prepare a game thinking if they are going to be tired or not.

“They want to fight to win the game, for sure. They're playing at home with a big, big support, and it's going to be in that direction that we're going to prepare the game.

“We go to play against a very good side that the last three seasons in a row arrived in the Quarter-Finals of European competition, one of them they won [the whole competition].

“Right now, they're in a position to be fighting to be in Europe again, in a very good position in the table.

“I don't need to talk about the individual quality they have, the experienced manager that they have as well. I don't need to go in this direction.

“Just see what they have been doing the last few seasons, even in European competitions. We really have to reach our best level to match them and to fight for the three points."
