Newcastle United seek to make it six competitive wins in a row against QPR and their fifth successive victory in the league.
Just over two months ago, Newcastle were preparing to face Hull City at St James’ Park and protests were planned against Alan Pardew.
After going 2-0 down, many expected it to be the end for Pardew, as his side was failing to beat sides that they should be beating.
However thanks to two late goals from Papiss Cisse, the manager kept his job and he hasn’t looked back since.
Newcastle have only lost once since that match, beating the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City over this great run of form.
It will be interesting to see how Newscastle deal with QPR as it is arguably the first match they are going into as favourites since the Leicester match which started off this run of form.
They are likely to have most of the possession and they will have to show the cutting edge that they have shown in recent months.
Pardew can’t rely on the counter attacking style that has been so successful over this run.
His side will need to force the issue and it will be intriguing to see if they can create openings against an improving QPR side.
