Fulham defender Brede Hangeland knows what to expect when Roy Hodgson’s West Brom visit Craven Cottage tonight.

The 30-year-old Norway international moved to west London from Copenhagen in January 2008 to link up with the Cottagers, who were then under the tutorship of Hodgson.

During his time at the helm, he helped transform Fulham from a side battling relegation to one fighting to be in the Premier League top ten as well as the 2010 Europa League final.

“We know exactly what to expect from West Brom,” he said. “It will be much the same as we played a couple of years ago and we all know how difficult that will be to break down.

“They will be a strong unit and well organised so we’re in for a tough game but obviously we would like to keep our home form going and win.”

On Hodgson’s return to Craven Cottage, he added: “He definitely deserves a warm welcome whenever he returns to Craven Cottage.
