Hodgson set for Reds switch 'within 24 hours'

Roy Hodgson is expected to be appointed new Liverpool manager within the next 24 hours once the formalities of his move from Premier League rivals Fulham have been completed.

The Merseysiders set themselves a deadline of the end of the month to find a successor to Rafael Benitez, who parted company with the Reds 27 days ago after a disappointing season saw the club finish seventh in the table.
