History will be made on Saturday, with Rebecca Welch set to become the first woman to referee a Premier League match when she takes charge of Fulham against Burnley at Craven Cottage.
The hosts are currently 11th in the table, boasting 21 points from their opening 17 matches of the campaign, while Burnley are 19th, picking up eight points from their 17 league games in 2023-24.
The London club will also be in FA Cup action early next month against Rotherham United, but their main focus will be on the Premier League, with fixtures against Burnley, Bournemouth and Arsenal to come before the end of the year.
Fulham recorded back-to-back 5-0 wins over Nottingham Forest and West Ham United in the league earlier this month, but they were beaten 3-0 by Newcastle United at St James' Park last weekend.
Silva's side sit 11th in the table, with a record of six wins, three draws and eight defeats seeing them collect 21 points, and they are only one point behind 10th-placed Chelsea.
