As of March 2026, Marco Silva has affirmed that Fulham is actively fighting for a European spot in the Premier League, viewing the challenge as a “privilege” rather than added pressure.
Current Standing: Following a 3-1 victory against Burnley on March 21, 2026, Fulham moved up the table to 8th (or 10th-11th depending on exact table source), firmly in contention with seven games left in the season.
Silva’s Mentality: Silva stated, “We set the target at the beginning of the season for us to arrive in the final stages fighting for something important… It is a privilege to have this type of thing”.
Recent Form: The team rebounded from a three-game winless streak, including a loss to Sunderland and a 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest, to secure critical points in March.
Player Confidence: Defender Calvin Bassey highlighted high motivation in the squad, stating they have “eight games left” (as of mid-March) to secure a top-seven finish, noting that Europe is a “goal”.
Historical Context: This push comes after the club set a record-high Premier League points total the previous season (2024-25), with Silva looking to surpass that mark and achieve European qualification.
Silva emphasized the need for consistency in the final stretch, noting that the team “wants to push higher and higher” to fulfill the club’s European ambitions.
