Queens Park Rangers will be desperate to bounce back from two home defeats and boost their survival hopes with success away to Crystal Palace. Alan Pardew’s men have struggled at home for much of this season, with a record of just three wins from 12 games at Selhurst Park possibly offering QPR hope, although that does appear a fantastic return when compared to the R’s away record, earning just three points on the road since promotion. Unlike at West Ham, the creativity of Jason Puncheon and the pace of Yannick…

Queens Park Rangers will be desperate to move back out of the bottom three with a win against Tottenham, who are looking to move to within three points of a Champions League place. This is a hugely significant encounter for the home side after they were unable to take anything against Arsenal on Wednesday evening despite a positive first half performance. After falling on the back-foot in the second and going two goals down, a Charlie Austin strike was not enough to inspire a comeback. Midfielder Sandro returned from injury…

Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez both got on the scoresheet for Arsenal to earn a valuable away win against strugglers Queens Park Rangers to boost their chances of a top-four finish, reports BBC Sport. The first-half was goalless between the two clubs, with Arsenal missing chances to go ahead. The Gunners boasted the lion’s share of possession as expected, but were forced to be patient as Rangers were frustrating the visitors at Loftus Park. QPR striker Charlie Austin could well have put the home side ahead in the first-half, but…

Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin revealed the red card picked up by club captain Joey Barton was a factor in their defeat to Hull City on the weekend, reports Sky Sports. Hull City were 1-0 up when Joey Barton was sent off for a low blow on City midfielder Tom Huddlestone. Charlie Austin equalised for the Hoops, but the man advantage saw the Tigers win the game at the death through Dame N’Doye. Joey Barton has a history for indiscipline, and this season has picked up eight yellow cards…

Hull City meet Queens Park Rangers in a significant clash between two sides who escaped the bottom three with crucial victories last time out. After a run of three straight defeats without scoring, the Tigers have begun February in ideal fashion, with a fine draw at champions Manchester City followed up by a huge three point haul against Aston Villa, where January signing Dame N’Doye made the desired impact on his full debut. But this is another game they cannot afford to lose, as it another home encounter with a…

New Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey has been full of praise for winger Matt Phillips for the 23-year-old’s recent upturn in form for the Hoops, reports Sky Sports. The Scotland international, who was signed from Blackpool in 2013, has struggled for game time this season. Former manager Harry Redknapp barely used Phillips at all, and couldn’t get the best from him when he did feature, but the 23-year-old is hitting form under Ramsey, and could well be key to the Hoops’ survival. Phillips set up both goals in Queens…

Premier League strugglers Queens Park Rangers have confirmed the appointment of Chris Ramsey as the club’s manager until the end of the season, replacing Harry Redknapp, BBC Sport has reported. Ramsey was installed in the job in a caretaker capacity when Redknapp resigned earlier in February, the veteran former Tottenham Hotspur boss stepping down citing the need for a knee operation that was now hampering his job. A former Brighton and Hove Albion and Swindon Town player, Ramsey was on the Tottenham staff under Redknapp before following Redknapp to Loftus…

Sunderland will be aiming to keep their impressive form going with a win against a Queens Park Rangers side that is still without a new permanent manager. Jermain Defoe has not taken long to make an impact at the Wearside club, scoring his second Premier League goal since joining in the 1-1 draw at Swansea City on Saturday. Manager Gustavo Poyet has signed a proven Premier League goalscorer, and the signs are that he could inspire them to comfortable safety. It is the goal threat that Sunderland have lacked for…

Queens Park Rangers will be desperate that their miserable run of away defeats will come to an end at Stoke City, who can move up into ninth place with a win. After what was without doubt their worst display of the season at Arsenal on January 11, Stoke have responded well, with a commanding victory at Leicester City coming before they racked up four in a potentially tricky FA Cup tie away to Rochdale. But it turned out to be a bittersweet evening at Spotland, as Bojan Krkic suffered an…

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp is confident he will be in charge by transfer deadline day, dismissing suggestions that he’s close to the sack, reports Sky Sports. “What would happen to Sky if I’m not here on transfer window day? It’s a lot of nonsense isn’t it really? But you’ve got to put up with it. I’m not going to lose any sleep over anything. I’ve been around a long time. I love what I do, I want to continue doing it, I work hard at my job, but…

Marouane Fellaini and James Wilson both got on the scoresheet in the second-half, as Manchester United finally earned an away win against a struggling Queens Park Rangers side, reports BBC Sport. Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal was subject to boos from some angry supporters after a goalless and disappointing first-half showing, but things went United’s way after the break. Van Gaal brought on midfielder Marouane Fellaini at half-time, and the physical Belgian vindicated the decision before the hour mark, scoring following a good passage of play. Queens Park Rangers…

After only one win in five Premier League games, Manchester United will be looking to return to form at Queens Park Rangers, who are back in the bottom three. The West London club have only taken two points from crucial games with Crystal Palace, Swansea City and Burnley, and are now very much in danger once again. That makes this match even more crucial, while the scoring burden must be eased on Charlie Austin. Manager Harry Redknapp was left to rue sloppy defending at Turf Moor as his side set…
