Packed with 80 pages of exclusive features, our latest issue sees Hughes as the subject of our long-read interview.
In a wide-ranging discussion, Hughes discusses his Christmas plans – without a Boxing Day fixture to play for the first time during his time at Palace:
"It’ll be a normal Christmas in some senses, which like for anyone is good.
“But at the same time, Boxing Day football is synonymous with my childhood and is one of the best traditions of English football.
“I used to love going to watch games when I was younger, Boxing Day was a big thing. So it’s sad in that sense from a fan’s point of view."
