Venue: Loftus Road Date: Saturday, 4th May K/o: 17:30 BST
Team News
QPR will welcome back striker Bobby Zamora from suspension for Saturday's visit of Arsenal to Loftus Road. He is likely to take his place in a three-pronged attack also featuring Loic Remy and Andros Townsend, who is set to overcome a hamstring injury. Christopher Samba is a doubt with a knee injury, however, while Shaun Wright-Phillips (ankle) and DJ Campbell (foot) remain sidelined. Arsenal will be without the suspended Oliver Giroud after the striker failed to have his red card against Fulham overturned, while Jack Wilshere and Nacho Monreal are battling for first-team places ahead of Kieran Gibbs and Tomas Rosicky. Arsene Wenger has an otherwise fully-fit squad to choose from.
Key Stats
Since QPR's return to the Premier League in August 2011, the Gunners have failed to score more than a single goal in any of their three encounters with them. QPR have two former Arsenal players in their ranks, Armand Traore and Jay Bothroyd. The Rs won the same fixture 2-1 last term thanks to goals from Adel Taarabt and Samba Diakite. QPR were officially relegated from the division last weekend. (
