Relegation threatened Queens Park Rangers welcome fourth place Manchester United to Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon with both sides looking to bounce back from defeats last weekend.

Harry Redknapp’s men are without a win in five games in all competitions, and go in to this match in nineteenth place, one point from safety following their loss to Burnley a week ago.

Every one of their nineteen points they have taken so far this season has come from their home fixtures, and somewhat worryingly they still have to face five of the current top seven in the league in front of their own fans so it is no surprise that they are odds on to be relegated.

Armand Traore has a toe injury and joins Sandro and Yun Suk-Young on the side-lines but Nico Kranjcar has recovered from a thigh problem.

Top scorer Charlie Austin is priced at 8.0 (7/1) to open the scoring, with Leroy Fer a 21.0 (20/1) shot with Paddy Power.

The home win is generously priced at 6.0 (5/1) with most firms, with the visitors favourites at 1.67 (4/6) with Ladbrokes. The draw is widely available at 4.2 (16/5).

Louis van Gaal’s side’s eleven game unbeaten run came to an end last weekend when they were defeated by fellow top-four hopefuls Southampton.

With the Saints not playing until later on Saturday, victory here would see United reclaim third spot even if only for a just a few hours.

Robin van Persie is doubtful with an ankle problem so Radamel Falcao could return to the starting line up while Rafael and Marcos Rojo are also both vying for recalls after recovering from their respective injuries.

Captain Wayne Rooney is priced at 5.5 (9/2) to get the first goal of the game with a number of bookmakers, with Juan Mata a 9.0 (8/1) chance with 888 Sport.

Manchester United have won their last six games against QPR, with five of those victories coming without them conceding so you may be tempted to back them to win to nil this time around at a price of 2.8 (9/5) with Bet Victor.
