Mark Hughes and his side welcome the Merseyside giants to Loftus Road, with the home side desperate for a win after losing four games in a row.
QPR:
For the Rangers’ faithful, this season promised to be one of attacking football and a chance to fight for a mid-table spot. However, reality is cruel and far from their grandiose ambitions, QPR have struggled.
Hughes managed to lure a large number of stars to the club in the summer but so far they have yet to perform, something which speaks volumes about the side’s recent results.
The pressure to secure top flight football is mounting on the Welsh tactician and unless they come out with a win tomorrow, things could go from bad to worse for the London outfit
Everton:
Despite being notoriously slow starters, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019, have been in fine form since August and the only minor blip in their results has been a shock defeat at the hands of Leeds United in the Capital One Cup.
Most of the credit, like always, goes to David Moyes for his success on a shoe-string budget. The Toffees have come out stronger than ever and if things continue like this, European football could well be on it’s to Goodison Park.
Team News:
QPR:
Hughes, though facing a bleak future, will have strong squad to choose from and will be welcoming back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 after the player shrugged off his hamstring problem.
Chemistry has been the side’s bane this term but following some good midfield performances, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adel-Taarabt-c3610 claims the players have had sufficient time to get used to each other and will surely improve upon their recent displays.
"We have a lot of players it's true but we have foreign players who have not yet adapted to English football.”
The Moroccan International also had some choice words for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Granero-c12919, claiming that the playmaker has tried his best to influence proceedings but a lack of coordination meant that all his efforts were in vain.
"For http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-c12907 he tries to get the ball down and play it there - but it has been difficult and we need more time."
Possible Starting XI: Cesar, Hill, Ferdinand, Mbia, Bosingwa, Park, Granero, Taarabt, Wright-Phillips, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zamora-c40983, Cisse
Everton:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tony-Hibbert-c35447 are also major doubts for this one, but there is also good news on the horizon as Darren Gibson seems to have overcome a thigh strain and is contention for a role on the bench at least.
The recent International break could take its toll on the troops, but according to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jagielka-c29902, most of his teammates will have rested enough for the Sunday kick-off.
“We have had a chat with the rest of the lads, Some people kick off at 12.45pm on Saturday and a couple of us have Sunday kick-offs which I am sure our manager will be delighted with. We have the extra day to rest up the legs but it's out of our control
really. It's been like chalk and cheese, on Tuesday it didn't stop raining and Wednesday was a beautiful day. That's just the way it goes,” claimed the centre-back.
Possible Starting XI: Howard, Baines, Jagielka, Distin, Neville, Gibson, Osman, Pienaar, Mirallas, Naismith, Jelavic
Key Players:
QPR: Esteban Granero
The Spaniard has been one of London’s shining lights this term and could finally make his impact if the players gel together for this one.
Everton: http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nikica-Jelavic-c27906
The Croatian has been Everton’s strongest attacker this season and will be difficult to contain for QPR if he is on song.
Author Prediction:
QPR 1-2 Everton
