2011-12-18 - Queen Park Rangers vs Manchester United
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Since the 6-1 home defeat at the hands of Manchester City, Manchester United have yet to be beaten and they will want it to continue that way as they travel to face Queen Park Rangers on Super Sunday for the early kickoff.
Since that unforgettable defeat to their neighbours, the Red Devils have won all but one of their games, both home and away, with Newcastle the only side able to take points off the champions.
And with Man City's 1-2 defeat at Chelsea, Manchester United managed to close the gap at the top of the table to just two points. United can temporary go top of the Premiership as they play first before Roberto Mancini's side take on Arsenal in what will no doubt be the Match of the Week.
It could be an exciting New Year especially with Tottenham, Chelsea and the Gunners closing in on the top two Manchester sides.
QPR comes into this match knowing they are in danger of slipping into the relegation dogfight having managed just two wins in their last ten games.
But Manchester United must exercise caution as QPR'S only home win this season came against United's title rivals Chelsea, who were reduced to nine men on that particular occasion.
Things are pretty tight at the bottom end as Neil Warnock's side could drop four places with a defeat this weekend, while a win could also lift them four places and back into the top half of the table.
QPR have a clash with Arsenal on New Year's Eve after meetings with Sunderland and Swansea City still to come.
Interestingly, for the Red Devils, 13th-placed QPR are the highest placed team they face in the next two weeks, with Fulham, Wigan and Blackburn also on the agenda.
