MATCH PREVIEW: WEST HAM UNITED V QPR
HARRY Redknapp takes his QPR side to Upton Park today, as the Râs boss comes up against another of his former clubs in the Barclays Premier League.
Redknapp will be hoping itâs a case of third time lucky this weekend, having already seen his Rangers side succumb to defeats at Spurs, Man Utd and Southampton this term.
The Râs gaffer will be encouraged by his sideâs improved showing at St Maryâs last Saturday, where â despite going down to a 2-1 defeat â the Hoops produced their best football on the road so far this season, with Charlie Austinâs stunning individual goal the undoubted highlight.
But Rangers need points following three pointless returns away from home and the Hoops could be boosted by the returns of Sandro and Jordon Mutch for the trip to East London.
Sandro is expected to return after sustaining a head injury in the defeat to Saints, whilst Mutch â who missed last weekendâs game with a hamstring injury â could also be in contention.
Skipper Joey Barton remains a doubt with the hamstring injury he picked up versus Stoke City a fortnight ago.
The Hammers, as always at Upton Park, will provide a tough test for the travelling Râs.
Despite defeats to Spurs and Southampton at home, Sam Allardyceâs side have beaten Liverpool in the league on their own patch, and gained a confidence-boosting win on their travels at Crystal Palace. They currently sit in 13th spot, three points ahead of the Râs in 18th.
The Irons will be minus injured quartet Mark Noble, Cheikhou Kouyate, Andy Carroll and Joey O'Brien, whilst Guy Demel is a doubt after limping out of training earlier this week.

Pre Match Talk
To be honest, any pre-match talk is really boring. I doubt that anyone reads the words anyway. The talking should be done on the pitch. Not in the programme notes or elsewhere before the game.
