Hughes to use inside knowledge

Mark Hughes will exploit some inside knowledge in a bid to help Fulham spring a surprise in the Barclays Premier League game at Liverpool. The match will see the Cottagers go head to head with Roy Hodgson for the first time since he quit as manager to take charge at Anfield in the summer. And his replacement Hughes has enlisted his players' help to expose the weaknesses in Hodgson's game plan. "Obviously, a number of players will understand what Roy's teams are about," Hughes said. "He likes his teams well-drilled, organised and a lot of the work that Liverpool will be doing at this moment in time is very similar to what he did for the last two years here. "A lot of things, they'll be aware of in terms of what Roy will try to get from his team and how he'll set them up. So obviously I've got an insight into that because of the players that he's worked with previously."
