Good morning! Harry Redknapp will be speaking to the media in around 15 minutes as he prepares his side to take on fellow strugglers Burnley at Loftus Road this weekend.

The three sides that came up from the Championship last season have all struggled to adapt to life in the top flight, as they currently occupy the three relegation places. QPR beat Leicester City last weekend to leave the Foxes at the foot of the table, and a win over the other newcomers this weekend would see them jump above Burnley, and could be enough to move them out of the drop zone.

Despite losing to Swansea City on Tuesday evening, QPR have been playing well recently. They held Manchester City to a draw, and goalkeeper Rob Green was on fine form to frustrate Swansea for most of the match at the Liberty Stadium.

Redknapp's side will also play Everton and West Brom before Christmas, but they face a tricky run over the festive period. QPR travel to Arsenal on Boxing Day, and will face Swansea again on New Year's Day, with a London derby against Crystal Palace in between.

While we're yet to hear from the manager on this match, Steven Caulker has already been speaking to the club's website. He said: "The team who were in the bottom at Christmas last season stayed up so it means nothing at the moment. It is about keeping with the pack and winning our home games and see where that takes us. We need characters out there. It's important that we win our home games, and Saturday against Burnley is now a six pointer."

Of course, Redknapp will have the opportunity to add to his squad when the transfer window re-open in a few weeks. The manager has already admitted that he is hoping to do at least one deal in January's window, with many expecting that he will make another attempt to bring in Jermain Defoe from MLS side Toronto.

QPR are yet to pick up a point away from home this season, but they've been playing well at Loftus Road. QPR have won three of their seven matches at home, and lost just twice, so they'll be confident of getting something from this match.

A key player for the hosts this weekend will be striker Charlie Austin. He is the team's top scorer so far this season, and the manager has recently said that Austin is capable of scoring 20 goals per season.

Injuries were a bit of a concern for QPR earlier in the season, but Redknapp's squad has been nearing full fitness recently. The manager will be hoping that he can keep his players healthy over the busy festive period.

Well the manager seems to be running a little behind schedule this morning. While we're waiting, let me remind you that we'll have live coverage from this and every other Premier League match this weekend from an hour before kickoff, as well as post-match reaction, player ratings and analysis.

Redknapp has just come into the press room and is keen to get his conference underway, so let's see what he has to say...

Redknapp starts with a quick update on his squad. The manager says: "Most of the lads that were involved against Swansea are OK."

Turning his attention to Saturday's match, Redknapp says: "Burnley are very much the same team that came up, Sean [Dyche] has done such a good job there. Danny Ings is a good player. I saw a lot of him when he was at Bournemouth."

On his side's place in the table, Redknapp admits: "Our away form has not been good enough but at home we have been excellent. It is very tight at the bottom. Results went OK for us midweek."

Redknapp is asked about the team's away form again, and insists: "We've played good team away. When you look at them, they have all been against the top sides. We've tried a couple of systems and formations and it hasn't worked. It'll probably when you least expect it."

Turning his attention back to Burnley, Redknapp adds: "Sean Dyche has excellent knowledge. He's very positive when you hear him and I've been very impressed. Burnley have goals in them, but we've at home and we've been very good at home. This is a big month. We have teams who are down there with us so it's important that we pick up points."

While the hosts will have Charlie Austin providing a goal threat, Danny Ings will likely lead the attack for Burnley. Redknapp admits that he expected both to cause problems in the Premier League this season: "Charlie Austin and Danny Ings both scored goals last year and I expected them to do it this season." Austin has seven goals so far this season, while Ings has four.

Well, that's all from Redknapp for now, but make sure you join us again on Saturday afternoon to see if QPR can get out of the bottom three. Until then, thanks for joining me this morning. Goodbye.
