Roy predicts a rough ride

Roy Hodgson expects a hot reception from Liverpool fans on Sunday when he returns to Anfield for the first time since being sacked.

Hodgson was dismissed in January 2011 after just eight months in charge before returning to management with the Baggies only 37 days later. He admits to not being liked by the Liverpool supporters during his spell at the club. When asked if he will receive a good reception, Hodgson said: "I don't know. I wouldn't have thought so. "There is no reason to give me a good reception because they didn't like me when I was there. I can't see they are going to like me now. "There aren't that many people I worked with that are still there and people like Damien Comolli (director of football) have moved on. But it will be nice to see one or two players I worked with."
