Queens Park Rangers v Manchester United: match preview

 

 

QPR v Man Utd preview

 

Team News
QPR defender Anton Ferdinand will miss the Premier League encounter with Manchester United.

The 26 year-old limped out of last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Liverpool with a hamstring problem and will not feature at Loftus Road this weekend.

QPR manager Neil Warnock can, though, welcome back defenders Fitz Hall (hamstring) and Matthew Connolly (ankle), as well as striker DJ Campbell (foot).

But midfielder Kieron Dyer must undergo an operation on his foot.

United, meanwhile, have Dimitar Berbatov available after recovering from an ankle injury.

The Bulgarian has missed the last three games after aggravating the problem during the Carling Cup defeat to Crystal Palace at the end of November.

Darron Gibson is also a doubt, while Darren Fletcher begins an indefinite spell out of the side to recover from a chronic inflammatory bowel condition.

Match Notes
Injuries have hit Manchester United; Queens Park Rangers are struggling with the limitations of their squad – and, for them, defeats have mounted.

Although it feels like it should be a fiery affair, the lunchtime kick-off and United’s need to try and keep another clean sheet and gain another win (to return to the top of the Premier League, albeit possibly only briefly) would suggest a tight match and a narrow away victory.

Betting: Home 6-1, Away 1-2, Draw 3-1.

Stat of the game: Queens Park Rangers have met Manchester United eight times in the Barclays Premier League and have never beaten them, either at Old Trafford or Loftus Road.

In the eight meetings, United have won six and drawn two while in the games in London, United have won three and drawn one, scoring three goals in those three victories.
