West Ham United v Queens Park Rangers: match preview

West Ham United v Queens Park Rangers: match preview


Harry Redknapp’s autumn tour of his old haunts reaches its final stop at Upton Park and he will hope for an improvement on the defeats his QPR team suffered at Spurs and Southampton. Rangers, Redknapp admits, “need to tighten up” but, with the second worst goalscoring record in the league, they must find a few more goals too. West Ham have been something of a mixed bag thus far, but will fancy their chances of picking up a third win of the season. John Ashdown
