QPR v Arsenal
I did have a sneaky feeling that QPR would stay up but, after Djibril Cisse went and got himself sent off again in their defeat at Sunderland last week, I think they are going to struggle.
I thought Cisse and Bobby Zamora would get them enough goals to win enough games to beat the drop but now the former Liverpool striker is out for another four games and QPR will miss him.
It was a ridiculous red card to get, too. It wouldn't have been so bad if Cisse had come from another country having never played in the Premier League before but he's been at a couple of English clubs before. He knows how it works so there can be no excuse for making a tackle like he did.
QPR were brushed aside too easily at the Stadium of Light and they face an even tougher task here against an Arsenal team who are have won their last seven league games and are just in great form.
Rangers' defence is fragile at the best of times, and you fear for them against a free-scoring Arsenal side. The Gunners will create lots of chances at Loftus Road and, in Robin van Persie, they have got the person to take them.
Prediction: QPR 0-3 Arsenal
