Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Queens Park Rangers and Manchester City. The first-division clash scheduled for 12:30 p.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.
What They’re Saying
QPR manager Harry Redknapp (via Express): “[Jose Mourinho] came up to me during the game and he said [the traveling fans] were fantastic. They have stuck behind the team and that's all we can ask. They made a lot of noise last week and and that's really good. The fans can make or break a team."
“Whenever you play [Manchester City], it is a difficult game,” he added when asked about today’s opposition. “They have a fantastic squad. It will certainly be a tough game. We did well at Chelsea last week, but we need to show the same commitment if we are going to get anything out of the game.”
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Manchester City’s Samir Nasri has failed to make the impact of previous campaigns. The 27-year-old has just one assist in five league appearances, but is averaging two key passes in league play.
QPR’s Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Green; Young, Dunne, Caulker, Isla; Hoilett, Henry, Sandro, Fer, Vargas; Austin
Manchester City’s Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hart; Clichy, Kompany, Demichelis, Zabaleta; Nasri, Fernando, Toure, Milner; Aguero, Jovetic
