Fulham boss Roy Hodgson insists there's no ill-feeling towards tonight's opponents Hull City.

Hull will be without ex-Fulham midfielder Jimmy Bullard, who suffered a serious knee injury just days after leaving Craven Cottage in January in a £5million deal.

The England squad man had been disappointed that Fulham had not been willing to grant him the contract extension he craved and was quick to sign on the dotted line for Hull once a four-and-a-half-year deal was offered.

But Hodgson insisted: "There is no ill feeling whatsoever. The only feeling is one of great pity that he is not going to be performing for them until next season, when we will wish him well."
