Most teams looking to bounce back from a disappointing away defeat at the hands of Fulham will welcome a home tie against one of this season’s promoted sides. But as Liverpool prepare for their weekend game against QPR, they will be mindful of their disappointing results against the other two sides who have come up from the Championship and taken points away from Anfield. Kenny Dalglish’s side currently sit in seventh place in the Premier League – a surprise considering their good form against other top four rivals. But last week’s Carling Cup win in West London against Chelsea was not enough to inspire and see off a resilient Fulham. Despite losing Jay Spearing to a debatable red card, The Reds still looked to stream forward and were unlucky on a number of occasions.

Neil Warnock, on the other hand, has been talking up the prospect of playing one of the biggest sides in England. The QPRboss stated, “trips to Anfield are the reason we’re delighted to be in the Premier League”. QPR have already taken points off one of the big boys this season following their home win over London rivals Chelsea, and Liverpool will need to be cautious of a side who are determined to avoid the drop back into the Championship.

Liverpool have certainly benefited from not playing in Europe this season. Kenny Dalglish has, for the most part, taken advantage of mid-week breaks while other teams compiling the current top five have had to concentrate on European opposition. This stands his side in good stead going into the weekend’s game as there has been very little hangover from failings to pick up all three points this season.

    Just how have the actually benefited for not being in Europe? They still cannot score goals!

  • A part of the obstacle may be coming personally from the players themselves of scoring less goals due of less precision of keeping during ball possession to score mostly their head down Downing in the left against Mcity and Bellamy in the right against QPR To be in more precision they only have to raise a bit their head probably can score more goal to destroy the obstacle YNWA
