QPR vs West Brom Premier League Preview

December 24, 2012


PREVIEW

QPR will be aiming for just their second victory of the league campaign while West Brom have returned to winning ways.

There will be little festive cheer around Loftus Road unless the home side can win for just the second time in the Premier League this season. 

Hopes of a change in fortunes following the derby win over Fulham were dashed by defeat at Newcastle, after which manager Harry Redknapp tore into his underperforming squad. 

Rangers will be targeting a return of maximum points from their two home games in the next few days to kick-start their fight to avoid the drop. 

West Brom travel to London in confident mood with their win over Norwich on Saturday having brought a run of four games without victory to an end. 

They can also take heart from the previous meeting between the two sides this season. 

Goals from Morrison, Gera and Mulumbu helped the Baggies to a 3-2 win that came in a sequence of results that pushed Clarke's outfit into the uncharted waters of third place in the Premier League.

TEAM NEWS

QPR

Harry Redknapp looks set to ring the changes for QPR after his criticism of the side that lost to Newcastle on Saturday. 

Julio Cesar should be fit to return after a back problem, but Nedum Onuoha and Armand Traore are struggling with hamstring injuries. 

Ji-Sung Park (knee), Andrew Johnson (knee) and Bobby Zamora (hip) are still absent for now while Keiron Dyer is a long-term absentee.

WEST BROM

West Brom's Youssouf Mulumbu is available after suspension for the trip to Loftus Road. 

The midfielder was unavailable for the weekend home win over Norwich after incurring five bookings this season. 

Baggies boss Steve Clarke will check on the fitness of defender Steven Reid (ankle) and midfielder Claudio Yacob (hamstring) before finalising his side.
