FULHAM boss Marco Silva is expecting another “very good game” against Cherries, after the pair slogged it out in the Championship promotion race last season. Both sides eventually ended up finishing in the top two positions in the table, Fulham accumulating two points more than Scott Parker’s men to win the title. During the campaign, the two sides shared gripping 1-1 draws, and now go head-to-head in the top flight at Craven Cottage this weekend, with Gary O’Neil at the helm, having replaced Parker in August. Looking ahead to Saturday’s clash between the two newly-promoted clubs,
Marco Silva said: “Last year was last year, it was completely different. Now, a different manager as well, but last season was a different competition. We had two tough games against them, two different games but two good games as well and, of course, under Gary they have been improving and the team is in the best form right now, a very good reaction from them. They are much more confident and they are getting the results because the quality is there. Of course, you see them in a good level because they are a good team, they fought like us last season to be at this level and they are at a good level. It will be another very good game against them I believe, another tough one to play but we are at home, we want to react from the last two games.”
