Sam Allardyce to make complaint over referee Anthony Taylor

Mark Hughes returns to the club where he cut his Premier League managerial teeth still unbeaten since taking the reins at Fulham. But, following points at Bolton and Blackpool, his third trip to the north-west this season will be the most daunting. Like Hughes, Sam Allardyce secured a top-10 finish for Blackburn last season, based mainly on robust form at Ewood Park. The hosts are also seeking a 1000th top-flight victory while Fulham have not tasted league success away from Craven Cottage for 13 months. Richard Gibson
