Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's been impressed by Marco Silva's Fulham.
The Reds host Fulham tonight at Anfield with both clubs vying for European qualification.
In his match programme notes, Klopp wrote: "I would like to extend an especially warm welcome to Marco Silva and the players, staff and officials of Fulham Football Club and also to congratulate them on the outstanding season that they are having.
"The football that Fulham are playing and the results they are getting already seem 'normal' because both have been so consistent, but it is not normal to reach the levels that they have in the first season after promotion.
"To be 10th in the league with just five games to go speaks volumes for the work that Marco is doing. I have no idea what Fulham's expectations were when they kicked off the campaign against us back in August, but there is no doubt that they are one of this season's achievers and I could not have more respect for what they have done and the way that they have gone about it."
