Preview: Queens Park Rangers vs. Fulham

Queens Park Rangers vs. Fulham

Queens Park Rangers host Fulham in Saturday's West London derby still looking for their first Premier League win of the season.

QPR were pegged back last Saturday by Wigan Athletic and forced to settle for a 2-2 draw, which was their seventh point in 16 games so far.

Fulham picked up their first league win in eight attempts on Monday night with their pulsating 2-1 win over Newcastle United.

Harry Redknapp might be tempted to bring Esteban Granero back into his midfield and there could be a spot for Djibril Cisse after the striker's goalscoring appearance off the bench.

Martin Jol has no fresh injury concerns, but is still without the creative Bryan Ruiz. Instead, the partnership of Dimitar Berbatov and Hugo Rodallega, which was effective against the Magpies, will probably stay together.
