Southampton v QPR Barclays Premier League Preview 2nd March 2013

Match Preview: Saturday,2nd March 2013, One of the important match Southampton v QPR of Barclays Premier League HD Quality Live Southampton v QPR  streaming is available here.Southampton v QPR Live Stream online Barclays Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at St Mary's Stadium on 3/2/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Both QPR boss Harry Redknapp and his Southampton counterpart Mauricio Pochettino share a birthday on the day of this match and it's fair to say the only present on either manager's wish list is three points from this huge clash at the foot of the table.Relegation with Southampton in the 2004-05 season has so far been Harry Redknapp's only real blip in an otherwise hugely successful managerial career.But with just 11 games to go this season he could be adding another black mark to his CV as QPR are teetering on the precipice of a damaging return to the Championship.
Redknapp has said that they need to win at least six of their remaining matches to have any chance of survival, but there has been no indication that they are in that sort of form. They can be forgiven losing to Manchester United last week, but their display against Swansea in their previous match was abject, and not scoring enough goals has been their Achilles heel.
The facts are that QPR have won two of their 27 matches this season and have scored just 19 goals - half that of Southampton's total.
Only seven top-flight sides have scored more than the Saints' 38 league goals this season and while Rangers must try and take the game to Southampton, they are going to have to man the barricades at the back.
Southampton must be very confident of taking the game to QPR, especially after they comprehensively beat them 3-1 at Loftus Road earlier in the season.
The swift, attacking brand of football they play at St Mary's, led by the talismanic Rickie Lambert, has reaped huge dividends this season - none more so than in the brilliant win over Manchester City in their last home match.

Team News:
Southampton's Jason Puncheon and Gaston Ramirez are pushing for recalls after starting last weekend's defeat by Newcastle on the bench.
Jose Fonte is again expected to be a substitute as he builds towards full fitness after more than two months out with a knee injury.
QPR striker Bobby Zamora has been ruled out with an ankle injury so Loic Remy will take his place.
Tal Ben Haim is struggling with a hip flexor problem and may miss out.

Head-to-head
QPR manager Harry Redknapp celebrates his 66th birthday on the day of this match, while Southampton counterpart Mauricio Pochettino will be 41.
Saints beat QPR 3-1 on 17 November, with then-Rangers manager Mark Hughes sacked just days later.
The last time the sides met in the top flight at Southampton was in the 1995-96 season when the hosts enjoyed a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Jason Dodd and Matt Le Tissier. QPR have not lost on any of their four subsequent visits to Southampton, all in the Championship.


Southampton
Southampton have dropped 27 points from winning positions in the league this season, more than any other team in the top flight.
Against Newcastle, Jos Hooiveld scored his third own goal of the season, equalling a Premier League record shared with Scott Dann (2011-12), Andreas Jakobsson (2004-05) and John Pantsil (2010-11).
Rickie Lambert is the top-scoring Englishman in the Premier League with 12 goals, and he has also contributed four assists.
Morgan Schneiderlin is the only top-flight player to have made over 100 tackles this season.

QPR
QPR have scored only four goals in their last 10 Premier League games.
Against Manchester United, QPR set a club record of failing to score in five consecutive Premier League home matches. It is the longest streak in the top flight since Portsmouth didn't score in six home matches in a row in 2007 - when Harry Redknapp was in charge at Pompey.
QPR have picked up just 13 points from 14 games since Redknapp took over.
