With Anfield proving the toughest ground for teams to visit this season, Marco Silva is aware that a stern challenge awaits Fulham on Sunday.
Liverpool have won all six of their home games – a feat matched by Aston Villa – and currently sit two points off the top of the table.
“It’s always really tough to play at Anfield,” Silva said. “The quality they have, the manager they have, the crowd is going to push them – they are three really important factors that can make things really difficult for us.
“They have started really well at home. They have been impressive, they have been perfect at home until now.
“In the Premier League – six games, six wins. And 10 out of 10 [all competitions]. They've been winning all the games at home so far.
“Tough task for us, really difficult one, but – as always – we go there to play our game, to do our best. We know it's going to be tough, like it always is in the Premier League, against a top side in a very good moment, who are in very good form.
“But we have to keep improving, to keep in the process that we have to keep improving, trying to do the right things and, of course, do our best to take points.”
Asked if the potential to be the first side to take points away from Anfield could be an extra motivation for the Whites, Silva replied: “Always.
“If you look at it on paper, it shows it's going to be a really tough task for us because they have been doing really well, with the style they’ve been playing at home, and credit for them.
“It shows that it’s going to be tough, but at the same time it’s there for someone to break. We are going to be the next ones to play against them, [and] it’s always a chance to break that home record that they have right now.
“This is a very good challenge, but that is a motivation for us as well.”
