Silva noted that Chelsea has had significant success in recent years, including winning the Conference League and the Club World Cup. The Blues have also strengthened their squad, with notable additions to their attacking line.

However, Silva emphasized that he and his team are focused on competing on the pitch, rather than trying to match Chelsea's off-field achievements. He aims to balance everything on matchday, much like they did in their two previous encounters with Chelsea last season.

Silva reflected on those games, which were both closely contested and emotionally charged. The Fulham manager expressed his desire to replicate the team's performance from last season, where they were able to match Chelsea's intensity and determination.

Ultimately, Silva's goal is to balance the team's efforts on the pitch, regardless of the differences in resources and prestige between the two teams.
