Disappointed: Hughes (right) wishes the FA had waited to appoint Roy Hodgson until the end of the season

'I would like to think they will go and work exceptionally hard for their manager, who has done a fantastic job for them and I am sure they will.'

Asked if he thought Bolton would have a slight advantage as a result, Hughes added: 'Well, you don't know until the game takes place.

'As a home side, you would anticipate that they would feel it is a big opportunity for them as we do being the home side in our fixture.

'It is about getting the job done yourself and we can't worry too much about what everybody else is doing at this point.

'If we get three points at the weekend, we will have done our job and can look ahead to the Man City game.'

While focusing on victory against the Potters, Hughes admits he did sit down to watch Wanderers' clash with Tottenham earlier in the week.
