Marco Silva says his side will be heading into the Leeds United clash at Elland Road on the back of a very good performance. Fulham won 3-0 against Aston Villa on Thursday night, a win which cost Steven Gerrard his job as Villains boss.
The Premier League new boys have been the surprise package so far this season, sitting ninth after 11 games of the campaign. They had been predicted for a season of struggle following their return to the top flight but so far, they've defied those odds.
The Cottagers head to Elland Road on Sunday full of confidence looking for their fifth win of the season. Leeds on the other hand know they need a win to alleviate any pressure on Jesse Marsch and put some distance between themselves and the early season strugglers.

"Our performance. It was at a top, top level. We were dominant and created chances all over and of course we got the clean sheet and three goals.
"We know what it means to play at Elland Road. The atmosphere there - everyone who loves football, loves that type of environment.”
