Fulham boss Marco Silva expects to face a very different Aston Villa tomorrow night.
Silva recognises Villa have been transformed by the arrival of manager Unai Emery.
He said, "The system is completely different. Collectively they are in a good moment. They are in the best moment of their season.
"They have changed the manager. Unai is doing a very good job. He is a very good manager so it surprises no one."
On Fulham's form, Silva also stated: "I heard disappointing things said about the team.
"That the team was already on the beach and that the team gave up. People that don't understand football can say this.
"Another thing we heard is that this team can only win with (Aleksandar) Mitrovic. We are stronger with him but we are showing that we have solutions.
"We are stronger with him but we are showing that we have solutions.
"I love him. He is a top lad. He is really positive and I love to work with positive people."
