QPR will look to build on their vital 2-1 win over fellow relegation battlers Southampton, and according to striker Jay Bothroyd, who got the winner against the Saints, Harry Redknapp has made every player feel a part of the team.
The addition of Christopher Samba at the back has given the London side an advantage at free kicks and corners with his height, which could be the difference in the race for survival.
Sunderland have not won a game in their last five league matches and Martin O’Neill will look to put that right against QPR, as they still have Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton and Tottenham to play in their last 10 games.
