Steven Caulker targets Manchester United scalp

Queens Park Rangers defender Steven Caulker has backed the side's home form to see them through when Manchester United visit Loftus Road this weekend.

The R's are currently struggling down in 19th in the Premier League but have only lost once at home – against Liverpool back on October 19.

The Mirror quotes Caulker as saying: "This United game is a big one for us.

"At home, our form in the league has been good and we want to maintain that. The fans have made Loftus Road a hard place to come. It's such a tight pitch so you can really hear them. We've got to keep that going.

"We know that a result against United will have the table looking a lot healthier. It will set us up much better for going into the back end of the season."

Caulker signed from Cardiff City in the summer for around £8m.
