QPR v West Brom
QPR were unhappy about their defeat by Norwich last week and WBA got well beaten at home by Tottenham. I'm pretty sure both of them will be happy with a point this time.
Rangers' home form has been a worry. It's because they don't get many goals at Loftus Road and also they are not very good at coping when teams counter-attack them. When the game is open, they make it too open at the back, and you feel teams can hit them for a few.
This game will be pretty tight, though. When Baggies boss Roy Hodgson suffers a defeat like the one against Spurs, he circles the wagons.
He will have been working on his defence this week, filling in the holes. Hodgson needs to get his attack working again too, though, and has been trying to get Peter Odemwingie fired up. He also needs to get Shane Long fit again as soon as possible.
Prediction: 1-1
