Southampton host QPR in a match that might confirm QPR as extremely hot favourites to end the season as bottom of the Premier League with a defeat.

For Saints a defeat might be damaging but it would still leave them out of the drop zone barring a ridiculous goal scoring change round from the teams below them.

Vital Quotes:

Saints Team News:

Saints are hoping that Luke Shaw will be fit to stay in the team after receiving a knock at Newcastle.

With a nearly fully fit squad it is simply a question of waiting to see who the Sheriff picks to start against Rangers.

Jason Puncheon should start after his consistently high performances this season.

Player to watch: Adam Lallana

Adam has been brought back slowly since regaining his fitness and could be ready to display his full range of skills.

QPR Team News:

Esteban Granero was forced off at half time in the defeat to Manchester United last week with a knock and may not make it back in raabt.

Bobby Zamora has to be treated with care and may get to see some action as indeed could Loic Remy.

Player to watch: Addel Taraabt

Adel is a very talented player and one that helps QPR tick. He will no doubt be watched closely.
