Harry Redknapp: 'Queens Park Rangers will avoid relegation'

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has said that he is confident his side will avoid the drop from the Premier League.

The London club defeated Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday to take their tally to 13 points from 21 matches this season.

"After Sunday's defeat by Liverpool it was difficult to convince anyone we could survive," Redknapp told BBC Sport.

"But the players have set the standard with this win and to get out of this mess they have to do it every week.

"That was our first away win in the league since October 2011 and let's hope we can build on it. There's still a long way to go but that was encouraging."

The win was QPR's first in four matches but it failed to lift them off the foot of the table.
