While Marco Silva would prefer to see his Fulham side continuing with their goalfests for the remainder of the season, the Portuguese will much prefer that more points are added to their total with regularity.
That is how things are currently panning out with 15 points coming from a possible 18, their latest success coming on Saturday as they defeated Blackburn Rovers by a 2-0 scoreline.

While Swansea only possess the 14th-best home record in the division, they have posted four wins from five in front of their own supporters
