Incredibly Newcastle actually have a fantastic record against Queens Park Rangers - both home and away. There are very few away grounds that the Magpies excel at, but in recent years Loftus Road has been one of them. In fact, the Magpies are unbeaten in nine matches against QPR - winning seven of those, including each of the last four. Earlier this season, Moussa Sissoko got the only goal in a 1-0 victory, while the penultimate game of the 2012-13 campaign saw Newcastle secure their Premier League future with a 2-1 win thanks to strikes from Hatem Ben Arfa and Yoan Gouffran. The Magpies will be hoping for a repeat on Saturday. The last time Newcastle lost to QPR was all the way back in February 1994 when they travelled to west London and succumbed to a 3-0 defeat - thanks to a brace from future Magpies forward Les Ferdinand and a strike from Simon Barker. Recent history is on Newcastle's side - let's hope that continues...
