Two struggling teams in the form of QPR and Liverpool will hope to see an improvement today when they meet each other at Loftus Road.
QPR is hands down the worst team in the Premier League as far as I`m concerned, they are playing dreadful football and it`s no wonder they are tied for the last place with Burnley ( QPR is actually last due to having the worst goal difference in the league). The hosts have scored just 4 goals so far and lost 5 out of the 7 matches they played, including the last two. QPR is on the back of a 2-0 defeat at West Ham. Harry Redknapp might be sacked if he loses this game and I`m shocked it took QPR so long to put him under pressure, one of the most overpaid and overrated managers I have ever seen.
Liverpool has struggled a lot after selling Suarez and it`s seems they will follow the path of Tottenham, who brought in a bunch of overpaid players with the Bale money and ruined their team. However Liverpool did not really have the chance to field the best lineup so far, they had a lot of injuries, so maybe they deserve a little bit more time before being judged. ‘Pool is on the back of a 2-1 home win over West Brom after previously being dominated and beaten by Basel in the Champions League (0-1).

Team news & lineups
QPR is simply decimated in the midfield area for today – they will miss the center midfield pairing of Barton and Mutch, also Taarabt and Faurlin are out and Kranjcar is highly questionable. Liverpool is healthier than ever ahead of this clash, only missing long term absentee Sturridge, while Flanagan and Sakho are highly doubtful.
QPR: Green – Onuoha, Caulker, Ferdinand, TraorΓ© – Sandro, Henry – Hoilett, Fer, Vargas – Austin.
Liverpool: Mignolet – Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno – Gerrard,Β Henderson, Allen – Sterling, Balotelli, Lallana.
Listen, betting on Liverpool does not seem like the safest thing to do right now, but the circumstances here heavily favor an away win and the odds are tasty as well. I can`t see QPR troubling any decent Premier League side, they lost 4-0 against the only two top teams they met (Tottenham, Man United). A crucial factor is that the hosts will miss at least 3 key midfielders, which is a disaster for a team that likes to crows the defensive midfield area – I expect Liverpool to take control of the midfield with Gerard and Henderson supported by the returning Allen. Thea fact that Liverpool can finally field a healthy team, with only Sturridge missing, is another big argument for the visitors, who could be expected to play better football in these circumstances. My tip is Liverpool to win with a 1 goal asian handicap. Prediction: QPR – Liverpool 0-2.
Pick: Liverpool (-1 Asian Handicap)

I think another good bet here is both to score.
Liverpool’s defence is very bad and they use a lot more full backs for the offensive phase to compensate for a really good striker(no Suarez).
Good Luck!
Not saying it won`t happen, but I can`t agree. To bet on QPR to score against anyone seems like a bad bet.
I saw Liverpool playing few last games, the problem is their replacement for Suarez, Balotelli is the worst player for any team, and Sterling-Lambert is a joke,so I don’t like Liverpool side, I have big respect for Gerard and young Coutinho,that’s it.
Qpr is sinking and they have very respectful team with Kranjcar in best form for long time,Sandro,Vargas,Isla,Rio Ferdinand,Redknapp is good manager,and they play home…I predict very tough game for Rich Liverpool !
QPR does have good players, and this is where Redknapp`s inability as manager comes into question. Seeing QPR play, they are just crap, they can`t defend and their offensive play is horrific (4 goals so far). I`m under no illusion that Liverpool are world beaters, but being healthier and meeting this QPR team they should prevail.
Good luck
same to you my friend
liverpool looked very poor in this match with two own goals and a victori in 95 th minute.qpr really look more than ok in offense my friend
well yes, it was a lucky escape for me. but Saturday Palace equalized in injury time so I deserved this. Regarding QPR they`re still bad, Liverpool allowed them to look better (and they still only scored in the last 5 minutes).
haha well good for you,but Qpr deserved a draw here at least.
Yes they are not good team this year but Liverpool is a big joke as I said before.
What I don’t understand is why Rio Ferdinand and Kranjcar were on the bench,and 2 defenders of Qpr scored a own goals…Joke!
well there have been a lot of calls for Ferdinand to be dropped and it seems Redknapp decided to finally do that. As I said in the preview, Krankjar was doubtful, not 100% fit.
