What have the managers said?
Marco Silva:
“If you want to look just to the results, they are in a better position now than before," said Silva.
“They don’t change their style of play. They are strong in some parts of matches and have more confidence for sure.
“They keep working hard even in some games they lost. They are a tough match for the opponents.”
Neil Warnock:
"You look at stats and they’re the hardest working side in the Premier League at the moment," said Warnock.
"Look at Richarlison up front he’s probably worth double that £45million.
"(Gylfi) Sigurdsson has had two week’s holiday whereas Aron (Gunnarsson) has been all over the world.
"(Phil) Jagielka speaks very highly of the whole club so there’s no reason why they can’t push into the top five over the next few years.
"They’ve had some lean spells but I’ve got a lot of time for the club - and I’ve always done quite well there as a manager."
