Been a bit absent on here! Difficult to juggle matchday/presser updates here & the other app. I urge you to sign up to my Patreon, it’s the only place you can listen to every single word from Silva from the written section of his presser. Link in bio! Just £5/$5 p/m! Plus much more content!!! #FFC

That's all from me today! Going to switch off and spend some time with the family. To all Fulham fans, have a very Merry Christmas! There will be more Silva quotes at 22:30 Christmas Day, so give them a read while watching Eastenders! See you at the Bridge, COYW! #FFC

Silva: "Not much time to switch off tomorrow. All of our families adapt in this situation. We have a job to do, we never lose the focus." #FFC

Silva on Tosin: "He was so important for us. It will be nice to see him. He is a good professional, and a good lad. We are going to try and win. We did what we had to do to replace him." #FFC

Silva: "I took the decision to play him, not because it was Southampton. We needed a created midfielder and we didn't have AP or ESR. He's going to be in contention for Chelsea." #FFC

Silva: "Josh King had a bad injury at the end of last season, I met with him and told him we would be with us for pre-season. Now he is knocking on the door, coming off the bench and starting. We are here to support him." #FFC

Silva: "A great feeling for King. Overall, he had some good moments, some people might be surprised by his composure at the age of 17. We are not surprised. Let's keep working with him, no need to rush him." #FFC

Silva: "Sasa is probably going to be ready for the game. We will assess Sander. Sasa's was a knock, it didn't look so serious." #FFC

Silva: "Let's see if ESR will be back for either Chelsea or Bournemouth." #FFC

Silva: "We embrace the challenge of Chelsea." #FFC

Silva on team news: "Too early to be sure about some players. We need to keep assessing them. Less time to recover between games. We will take a decision after tomorrow's session." #FFC

I’m at Motspur Park to speak with Marco Silva ahead of the SW6 Derby between Chelsea and Fulham on Boxing Day! #FFC

It’s Christmas Eve, but it’s also Marco Silva’s pre-match press conference today! The Fulham boss will speak to the press from 13:30 this afternoon. Any questions for Marco? 🎄⚽️ #FFC

FT 0-0. Frustrating afternoon for Fulham. First clean sheet at home this season. Wilson and Traore came close for Silva's side. Chelsea next on Boxing Day. #FFC

90+2' Lukic is down holding his shoulder. #FFC

87' Vinicius replaces Wilson. #FFC

82' Iwobi's low driven shot is straight at Ramsdale. #FFC

70' Berge is down and looks hurt. #FFC

67' What a save from Ramsdale to deny Wilson! #FFC

63' Iwobi's header is easy for Ramsdale, Traore causing problems down the right. #FFC

61' Jimenez replaces Muniz. Traore replaces King. #FFC

56' Armstong's shot is comfortable for Leno. #FFC

48' King draws a foul after a lovely turn and run. #FFC

Fulham out for the second half. No HT changes it seems, #FFC

HT 0-0 | The first time it's been goalless at HT at Craven Cottage this season. Lively first ten minutes, but it's been flat ever since. Iwobi has been Fulham's main goal threat. King has done well too, some great bits of play. Fulham need a bit of a lift in the second half. #FFC

33' Nice effort from Iwobi, curling just wide. #FFC

26' Wilson volleys over. Sleepy game and sleepy atmosphere so far. #FFC

11' Dangerous low ball in from King, but Saints clear. Fulham enjoying a lot of the ball in these early stages. #FFC

3' Iwobi's chip is tipped away by Ramsdale! #FFC

Five changes for Fulham and a first start for Josh King! Bassey, Castagne, TC & Muniz also come in! Andersen returns to the bench! Berge and TC in midfield, with King in the 10? ESR doesn't make the squad. Muniz starts after his goal last week! What a moment for Josh King! #FFC
