MATCH PREVIEW: QPR V TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
​
ALL EYES in the Barclays Premier League will be on Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon, as a second London derby in the space of less than 72 hours awaits QPR.

Capital One Cup runners-up Tottenham Hotspur are the visitors to W12, in what is the only top-flight fixture of the weekend.

The Hoops, who succumbed to a narrow 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in W12 on Wednesday night, will be hoping to make the most of their game in hand on their relegation rivals against Mauricio Pochettino’s men, as the scrap for survival continues at the foot of the table.

Spurs, meanwhile, are gunning for a top-four finish, with Wednesday’s 3-2 victory against Swansea City lifting them to within six points of Manchester United, who currently occupy fourth spot, with a game in hand.

The fixture, of course, sees Chris Ramsey come up against the club he served for nine years prior to his appointment at QPR.

The 52-year-old was a driving force behind the Spurs Academy set-up, which has seen Harry Kane, Nabil Bentaleb and Ryan Mason – to name but a few – flourish at first team level this season.

Any sentiment will, however, go out the window tomorrow afternoon, with Ramsey’s charges knowing victory at Loftus Road will see them climb out of the bottom three, leapfrogging Aston Villa.

The Rangers Head Coach could recall Rio Ferdinand to the starting XI following his absence on Wednesday, but Nedum Onuoha, Mauricio Isla and Darnell Furlong all face last fitness tests.

Sandro is fit and available following his return to the starting XI in midweek, but Adel Taarabt remains sidelined.

Pochettino may decide to rotate his squad, having fielded the same starting line-up for Sunday's Capital One Cup final defeat and the midweek win against the Swans.

The football formation tool isn't working so I had to post Wednesday's team and a generic Spurs one.
For QPR I would swap Vargas for Kranjcar and Furlong for Isla if fit in a 4-2-3-1.

This has been quite the season for the 21-year-old, whose 24 goals in all competitions is far and away the best tally from any English striker this term.

That form has impressed Three Lions boss Hodgson, who has strongly hinted recently that Kane will earn a first senior call-up in two weeks' time.

I see Harry Kane as the big danger man. If we keep him quiet, we have a chance.
 
We need a big performance and not a little luck today, even a draw would be a positive but a win would be just the job...
 
Cheers nines. Here's hoping Ramsey's knowledge of Spurs players - or failing that a hari kari style act of gratitude from them - leads to an unlikely win. Can't be any worse than White Hart lane, without doubt the worst performance of the season so far. In his post match interview, Redknapp said: 'we didn't lay a glove on them' (no **** Sherlock). Gotta get stuck in this afternoon.
 
"............Redknapp said: 'we didn't lay a glove on them' (no **** Sherlock). Gotta get stuck in this afternoon................."

Said it all really. The last time he got animated at HQ was when Taarabt scored three years ago in the lucky escape season and all Redknapp could drone on about was how much better they were and how lucky we were. But that was him all over. It was never his fault that his teams got beat when they played the big boys and certainly never his fault when they got beat by nippers like us.
