Sutton noted, “They are at home and are going to be fine in the Premier League this season, so I don’t see Marco Silva making too many changes. ” He added, “It would be great to see Fulham having a real run in the FA Cup. They’ve never won it, reaching the final in 1975 is their best attempt yet, but I wouldn’t rule out their chances of making it to Wembley this year. ” Those remarks tie club history — the 1975 final — to present selection choices and the possibility of a deep cup run.
