Gerry Francis: 'Relegation battle to go all the way'

Gerry Francis believes that former club QPR's battle to avoid the drop will go down to the last game of the season.

Former Queens Park Rangers boss Gerry Francis has claimed that the team's fight to stay in the Premier League will go down to the last game of the season.

QPR currently sit two points from safety following Tuesday's 3-3 draw at fellow strugglers Aston Villa.

With just seven points separating the bottom six sides in the table, Francis expects the battle to avoid the drop to go all the way.

"It could all go down to the last week," he told Sky Sports News. "[QPR] are away to Leicester in the last game of the season and I expect it to be very, very close and go to that last game of the season."

The R's continue their Premier League campaign on Sunday when they welcome leaders Chelsea to Loftus Road.
