Queens Park Rangers continue their fight against relegation with a visit from Arsenal on Saturday.

Queens Park Rangers continue their tough run-in of Premier League fixtures with a home clash against Arsenal on Saturday.

Mark Hughes's side are desperate to beat the drop into the Championship and club captain Joey Barton could return to the fold after being demoted to the bench during Rangers' 3-1 defeat to Sunderland last weekend.

Jay Bothroyd is expected to lead the line with Bobby Zamora following Djibril Cisse's red card picked up at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

Meanwhile, with Arsenal on a positive run in the domestic league, Arsene Wenger is likely to keep Robin van Persie up front with Theo Walcott providing service from the wing.

Laurent Koscielny could start for the Gunners, but if the defender fails to recover from an injury, Johan Djourou is likely to take the spot.

Current form:

QPR: LLDLWL
Arsenal: WWWWWW

Possible lineups:

QPR: Kenny; Taiwo, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Young; Wright-Phillips, Derry, Barton, Diakite; Bothroyd, Zamora

Arsenal: Szczesny; Gibbs, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Sagna; Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky, Walcott; Van Persie

Sports Mole says: 0-3
