Wigan v QPR: Can Redknapp get the Great Escpae under way?
Harry Redknapp has cancelled Christmas for his QPR players but will they be partying on the way back to London after beating Wigan this afternoon or will the Latics keep the R's rooted at the foot of the table?
QPR remain the only club in England yet to record a win this season and Redknapp's arrival has failed to give the club the lift many expected. Two points from two games though is better than what they achieved under Mark Hughes and most Rangers fans heading up the M6 today will see this as a winnable game.
Wigan have already lost at home to Chelsea and Fulham and QPR will today be looking to make it a hat-trick of west London triumphs. The Latics have lost three of their past five outings and currently sit only two points above the drop zone. They have also failed to score in three of their past four defeats.
This will be only the ninth meeting between the two sides in history and the results currently stand at three wins for QPR, three draws and two wins for Wigan. QPR have only one win at the DW Stadium to their name. Can they make it two today and get the Great Escape under way?
Wigan Athletic v QPR; Kick Off 3pm December 8 2012
