Arsenal boss Wenger: I will show Hughes respect

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he'll shake hands with Fulham counterpart Mark Hughes.

A year ago when the two last met, then-Manchester City boss Hughes branded Wenger a sore loser for refusing to shake his hand after a 3-0 Carling Cup semi-final defeat.

Wenger insisted it was a reaction to Hughes' behaviour during the match, and confirmed he intended to shake Hughes' hand today.

He said: "I will treat him like every manager. I will shake his hand and be respectful.

"It was a one-day incident and as far as I'm concerned it is behind me."
