Fulham's Euro tilt begins

Fulham defender Aaron Hughes admits he does not know much about tonight's Europa League opponents NSI Runavik but is not expecting to come out on the wrong end of an upset.

The Cottagers began pre-season last week in preparation for this evening's first-round tie at Craven Cottage against the team from the Faroe Islands. "I don't know a great deal about them," he said. "We have not had a chance to look at them too much this week because it has more been about preparation on the football pitch and a little bit of top-up on fitness.

"I guess in the meeting before the game anything that the lads inside have found they will highlight before we go out. It is as much about making sure we do all the basic things right, which should be enough to take us through."
