    Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno has been speaking to BBC Sport following the game: "Unbelievable. I think we deserved to win after 90 minutes. Of course, with penalties, it is sometimes a lottery. Luckily we won.

    "The goalkeeping coach told me a couple of bits of information, but my feeling is more important. I went the wrong way three times, but credit to our penalty takers. It is not easy. A brilliant job from all of us."

    On wanting to reach Wembley: "100%. Two-years ago, we lost in the quarter final [against Manchester United] and now we are in the quarter-finals again.

    "We want to go to Wembley 100%."

    Fulham have qualified for the FA Cup quarter-finals in two of the last three seasons (2022-23 and 2024-25), which is as many times as they managed between 2004-05 and 2021-22 (two times).

    After only scoring once in his first 55 appearances for Fulham, Calvin Bassey has since netted in two of his last four games for the club (against Nottingham Forest and Manchester United).

  5. Sutton's predictions: Man Utd v Fulhampublished at 11:06 2 March

    Sutton's predictions graphic

    I am sick of backing Manchester United. Even though they beat Ipswich on Wednesday, they did not half make hard work of it and the Tractor Boys ran them close at Old Trafford.

    Alejandro Garnacho appeared to have a bit of a hissy fit after being hooked before half-time, so it will be interesting to see how Ruben Amorim deals with that. He will not have any players left at this rate if he decides to leave Garnacho out.

    United are the FA Cup holders and they have beaten Fulham home and away already this season, but on both occasions it was far from convincing, and I don't really care about that anyway.

    Amorim is a likeable guy, and I have got sympathy for him about the size of his task at Old Trafford but, from watching United, I cannot think of any reason to back them to win this.

    I am usually wrong about Fulham, but they are going to take this one - 100%.

    Sutton's prediction: 0-3

    Fulham boss Marco Silva has been speaking to the media before Sunday's FA Cup game against Manchester United (kick-off 16:30 GMT).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • Silva confirmed Harry Wilson, Reiss Nelson and Kenny Tete all remain absent through injury for Sunday's game.

    • Better news on the injury front comes in the form of midfielder Emile Smith Rowe. The Fulham boss said the 24-year-old has returned to training and could come into contention for the match.

    • He claimed the FA Cup is a "big ambition" for the club and the passion to do well in the competition runs through the entire squad.

    • In response to Alex Iwobi admitting that he plays five-a-side with his friends during the season in a podcast this week, Silva said: "I would prefer him to enjoy his friends in a different way" and added that "the most important thing for him is his job at Fulham Football Club".

    • He said his side "don't feel intimidation in any stadium in this country" when asked if Manchester United don't hold the fear-factor they once did.

    • Silva stated that "it's too early" to think about winning the FA Cup and wants his side to keep their focus on taking one game at a time. He did, however, add that the team are feeling "really positive" about Sunday's fixture.

  8. Are Fulham suffering without Tete?published at 16:19 27 February

    We asked for your views on the one thing going on at Fulham that is being overlooked.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Steve: We are missing Kenny Tete as we have less of an attacking threat down the right side without him. It's a pity we were unable to sign another right-back in the January window.

    Chris: The fact we didn't get a decent right back in the January transfer shocks me. Fair play that Timothy Castagne stepped up when Tete was injured but I feel he is looking tired and doesn't have the speed to run up the wing.

    Barry: If the owners are serious about progress at Fulham they should give Marco Silva a new contract. He is working wonders with the squad at his disposal. Not sure we can compete in Europe with such a small squad, as good as they are.

    Ben: Adama Traore continues to puzzle me (as he has done for many teams). He looks like the best player on the pitch some weeks and then he's totally impotent the next.

    Martyn: The problem is simple: no home support, no noise. Since early December we have only won twice at Craven Cottage. We have had too many home draws with teams we should have beaten. The team needs to hear its fans but in my opinion the fans have been priced out.

    Bill: Home advantage means nothing if the atmosphere is flat and Craven Cottage is like a library - the first thing is to ban clappers. Away from home, our fans are loud and proud and this reflects on the performance.

  9. What's the one thing no-one is talking about?published at 16:40 26 February

    Victory at Wolves on Tuesday leaves Fulham firmly in the hunt for European football.

    But will inconsistent home form costs the Whites a long-awaited return to continental competition?

    And is Rodrigo Muniz ready to step up as lead striker?

    These are issues we've spotted, but what have you noticed? Tell us the one thing no-one is talking about at Fulham but really should be.

    We asked for your views on Wolves' match against Fulham in the Premier League.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Wolves fans

    Alex: Poor tactics for the second half. If you put a 6ft4in centre-forward on, you need to spread play to the wings and get crosses into the box. Strand Larsen was starved of service once again. Santiago Bueno is simply not good enough. The sooner Agbadou returns, the better. Need to pick ourselves up and beat Bournemouth in the cup. All is not lost....not yet anyway.

    John: Sunday league defending, clueless going forward. Wolves were probably safe if they had won. Not on this performance!

    Simon: Nice passing spells aside, Wolves did not pose a threat in front of goal. In the second half, some players went hiding and the lethargy of sideways passing set in. The early goals for Fulham killed any atmosphere in the ground, no chants or songs other than when Toti Gomes was receiving treatment in front of the South Bank. A game to forget quickly.

    Fulham fans

    John: Five changes to the starting XI looked like either a reaction to Saturday's poor performance or an attempt to keep players fresh for the FA Cup tie at Manchester United. It turned out to be a stroke of Marco Silva genius in a thoroughly deserved win. Quality across the park but a special mention for Ryan Sessegnon - 'one of our own' who proved he belongs at this level.

    Lee: For all their possession, Wolves huffed and puffed. Fulham had all the best chances and deserved the win. Push for Europe still on!

    Bob: Didn't do too much but we didn't have to. Smash-and-grab three points. Job done.

    Fulham have won three consecutive away games for just the second time in the Premier League, after also doing so in 2008 under Roy Hodgson. The Cottagers have won six matches away from home this season – only winning more in one of their previous 29 top-flight campaigns (seven in 2022-23).

    When Marco Silva named five changes to his starting line-up, it was difficult to know what to expect from Fulham at Molineux.

    Raul Jimenez and Alex Iwobi - the club's top two scorers this season - were made to watch from the bench, along with key defenders Antonee Robinson and Calvin Bassey.

    Ryan Sessegnon, meanwhile, was handed his first Premier League start since he re-joined Fulham from Tottenham in the summer.

    The academy graduate grabbed the opportunity with both hands, racing forward to latch onto Andreas Pereira's smart pass and slot home after only 59 seconds.

    And Rodrigo Muniz, with a sensational chipped finish over Jose Sa, also made the most of his rare appearance in Fulham's starting XI.

    Silva's decision to start the Brazilian appeared all the more admirable as Jimenez, after coming on in the 72nd minute, missed two big chances in front of goal.

    An extra bonus for the Cottagers is that Jimenez, and others, should be fresh and have an extra point to prove when they face Manchester United in Sunday's fifth-round FA Cup tie.

  13. 'We controlled the game differently than we normally do'published at 22:14 25 February

    Marco Silva spoke to TNT Sports after Fulham's victory against Wolves: "The way we started was two quick goals from ourselves and we were solid second half. We scored early in second half and controlled the game in a different way than we normally do, we didn't have much of the ball until the last 15 minutes when we had some chances to kill the game. But they didn't have one chance in the second half, I think we did really well. In some moments we have to win games like we won tonight."

    On the two goals: "Great finishing, Ryan Sessegnon has that capacity to arrive in the right moments at the right spot and to be there. A great finish for him. You can see many moments from the training ground.

    "What a goal from Rodrigo, amazing game. He is in a very good moment, great moments from him and Raul [Jimenez], it's hard for me to decide."
