2011-12-31 - Arsenal vs Queens Park Rangers

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

It is a London derby as Arsenal welcomes QPR and the man everyone is talking about is Robin van Persie.

After all van Persie is just two goals short of equalling the Premier League record for goals in a calendar year set by Alan Shearer in 1995. He could achieve it today against QPR who are now battling against relegation.

Van Persie has scored 34 goals in 2011 has been the main reason that has helped Arsenal recover from a disappointing start to the campaign and push themselves back in the race to finish in the top four. The Gunners are currently fifth in the Premier League table with 33 points from 18 matches, just one point behind fourth-placed Chelsea.

But Arsenal only managed a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday at home and knows they cannot take this match for granted against Neil Warnock's side. The visitors QPR, have a dreadful form away from home as they have picked up just 10 points from a possible 27 on the road.

As it is now, QPR are just three points above the relegation zone in 16th and are in real danger of suffering the drop from the English top flight at the end of the season.

QPR drew their last league fixture 1-1 with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium and have failed to win in their past five Premier League matches. Warnock's side also have a poor recent record against The Gunners as they have managed just one win in their last 12 visits to Arsenal.

Team News :
