Another crucial match in the 25th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season will take place, with Fulham hosting Everton. Marco Silva stated in an interview that every match is demanding and intense, therefore the team must have a wide range of ways to cope with different challenges.

In their last match, Fulham came back from two goals down to equalize thanks to goals from Raul Jimenez and Kevin, but were then defeated 2-3 by Manchester United in the final moments after Sheskov scored.

After achieving 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 5 rounds, Fulham is currently ranked 9th in the standings with 34 points.

Everton, the "Toffees," are currently 10th in the standings with 34 points, and drew 1-1 with Brighton in their last match.

Fulham manager Marco Silva said, "We will experience a fantastic feeling at home again, which is a very special place for us. We are creating the right atmosphere, with the coaching staff, players, and fans all united and moving in the same direction."

“Every game is demanding and intense. At our level, nothing is taken for granted. The opponents are always tough to beat, and we have to respond to the challenges of the game in various ways. We have a game plan and we know what we need to do. The opponents are also a very good team, and they will try to suppress us and prevent us from playing at our own pace.”

When discussing their upcoming match against Everton, Marco Silva said, "Their away defensive record this season is truly outstanding, which demonstrates their resilience and their ability to control the tempo of the game even when they don't have possession. But they don't rely solely on defense to achieve good results away from home; they are all very difficult to beat."

“We know they are threatening at certain moments in the game, such as from set pieces and long throw-ins. If we are just as tenacious and maintain our good defensive organization as before, we will certainly be closer to winning the game.”

Furthermore, Marco Silva added, "Their number of goals conceded already demonstrates their ability to play away from home, but we are playing at home, and home has always been our strength. We expect this to be a specific type of game, and what happens next will depend on how the game unfolds, but we have everything under control."

“I am well aware of the statistics regarding away goals conceded, and we have always prepared for the game in the best possible way. First of all, I am very optimistic. Although it will be a tough game, I believe we can respond as we should, especially after losing to Manchester United, a game we should not have lost.”
