Crystal Palace v Queens Park Rangers: match preview

QPR have lost seven of their last eight league matches and yet they will go into this game with a degree of confidence, as they are somehow still within touching distance of safety and there has been a slight upswing in performances since Chris Ramsey replaced Harry Redknapp, even if results have not reflected that. If Rangers can abstain from ruining good general displays with sudden defensive mistakes, they might just get a positive result at Selhurst Park, where Palace remain a little vulnerable. Paul Doyle
