As Roy Hodgson's squad reconvened at Motspur Park on Thursday afternoon Simon Davies paid tribute to the effort and work rate which has seen Fulham record consecutive home wins at the Cottage against Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur.
“It’s good that we’re maintaining our home form," Davies explained. "Last year our home form wasn’t good enough and it put us in trouble and we were very lucky to get out of it in the end. It’s something that we really wanted to work on and so far this season we’ve had some great results at the Cottage.
“Everyone worked really hard last weekend and it was a good performance throughout the team. That’s the effort you’ve got to put in to get a result against a team like Tottenham."
Fulham travel to Merseyside this weekend to take on a buoyant Liverpool side and Davies is clearly relishing the challenge ahead.
“You always look forward to playing one of the big four teams in the league and Anfield is one of the best places to play football," Davies revealed. "I’ve always enjoyed going to Anfield and they’re always great games of football to be involved in.
“It’s going to be a tough test but we’ve had back-to-back wins so we’ll go and give it a really good go. The atmosphere is a bit different from anywhere else and the boys can go there and enjoy it now.
“A lot of teams have been close to getting something this year at Anfield so we’ll give it our best shot. The beauty is that we’ve had a couple of wins so we’re not desperate so if we can earn a point or nick a win then it’ll be all the better for us.”
