Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Queens Park Rangers and Liverpool. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET will be held at Loftus Road in London and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
QPR center-back Rio Ferdinand had this to offer when asked about the potential sacking of his manager Harry Redknapp (via the Mirror). "We are not even in double figures for the amount of games played yet. To push the panic button now would be crazy in my eyes. Harry still comes across to me as a fighter and a man with a lot of fight left in him. He wants to get the club out of this situation we're in. It's not for the lack of trying."
"No one wants to see their manager get sacked," he added. "It was not nice to see it happen to David Moyes at Manchester United last season, and I wouldn't want to see it here. It's down to us as players, as well as the coaching staff, to start turning results around."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Raheem Sterling requiring rest, Liverpool turn to Adam Lallana to feature in the hole behind Daniel Sturridge and Mario Balotelli. The 26-year-old has one goal and is averaging one key pass per match.
QPR's Projected Lineup (4-5-1): Green; Traore, Ferdinand, Caulker, Isla; Kranjcar, Henry, Sandro, Fer, Hoilett; Austin
Liverpool's Projected Lineup (4-3-1-2): Mignolet; Moreno, Lovren, Skrtel, Johnson; Gerrard, Leiva, Henderson; Lallana; Balotelli, Sturridge
