Hull City No2 Brian Horton admits he has great admiration for Roy Hodgson's work at Fulham.

Hull and Fulham - who finished seventh last term - have similar records this season having collected seven points from their opening eight games. They face-off on Monday night.

Horton said: "Roy Hodgson has done a fantastic job down there.

"They have got some good footballers and play good football. They have bought tremendous players for bargain prices and it will be a tough game. But they are like us, they need to win. It is a big game for both clubs."
