Arsenal v QPR
Arsenal will be looking to get back to winning ways when they host Queens Park Rangers at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Gunners' recent title resurgence took a hit on Tuesday as they were held to a 1-1 draw against 10-man Wolverhampton, with Arsene Wenger's men failing to take advantage of several other draws involving the teams at the top of the standings. Rangers also recorded a draw last time out against Swansea, although that result marked a huge improvement for manager Neil Warnock, whose side had lost their previous three Premier League encounters. On the team front, Arsenal are set to welcome Theo Walcott back to the squad after the England international missed the midweek clash with illness. Wenger will also decide on whether to rest goal scoring sensation Robin van Persie, with the Frenchman still able to call on Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh who have not yet departed for the Africa Cup of Nations. For QPR, Adel Taarbat, who started his first game since October against the Swans, is likely to retain that role after impressing at the Liberty Stadium. Warnock is also boosted by the availability of Shaun Wright-Phillips who has recovered from injury.
