QPR - Liverpool Preview : March 21, 2012 8:00 PM GMT Loftus Road Stadium — London Referee:‬ H. Webb‎

Team news

Queens Park Rangers

The likes of Fitz Hall and Adel Taarabt are both doubtful but should be fit to feature on Wednesday. Zamora and Cisse will continue to work on their partnership up front, while fellow new signing Diakite should keep his place in midfield. Traore is likely to keep his place ahead of Taiwo at left-back, with Onuoha keeping out Young on the right and Hill partnering Ferdinand.

 

Liverpool

Martin Kelly and Luis Suarez both picked up knocks against Stoke at the weekend, so Dalglish will hope to have the likes of Johnson and Bellamy back available. Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson were both rested for the FA Cup clash and the former could return if Dalglish reverts to one up front, which would probably mean dropping Carroll. If Bellamy is available, Downing could line-up on the right once again while Carragher will continue to deputise for the injured Daniel Agger at the back.

 

Match Facts

• Queens Park Rangers have failed to win their last 6 matches in Premier League. 

Prediction

QPR will feel very aggrieved not to have been awarded an opening goal at Bolton last time out but the fact of the matter is that Mark Hughes' side are on the longest winless run in the league, going 6 games without a victory. They have slipped into the bottom three and have a tough run in, so will see their home form as vital if they are to stay in the Premier League. Liverpool have lost 4 of their last 5 away games in the league so the hosts will be confident. Liverpool won the reverse fixture at Anfield 1-0 but QPR have added quality to their attack since then and will be a more dangerous proposition at home, as well as being more fresh after Liverpool faced Stoke at the weekend.

 

prediction score :

Queens Park Ranger  1 - 1  Liverpool
