Blackburn Rovers Mark Hughes has praised Fulham in the run-up to this afternoon's match at Ewood, and was particularly impressed by their superb 2-1 midweek win over Arsenal.

"That was a fantastic result for them and they played exceptionally well," said Hughes.

"They're a good team and Chris Coleman and his backroom staff probably don't get enough credit for the job they do there.

"Possibly that's because Chris isn't viewed as the next England manager, a little bit like myself, so we don't tend to get a great deal of credit."
