We can beat anyone at home! Confident QPR boss Harry Redknapp bullish ahead of Stoke clash
QUEENS PARK-RANGERS boss Harry knows Stoke will be a difficult match this weekend, but is confident his side can ‘beat anyone’ at Loftus Road.
Redknapp, 67, has endured a fairly turbulent start to life in the top flight - suffering three defeats, and conceding nine in their opening four ties.
But the veteran boss is under no illusion that QPR must maximise their home advantage to earn a second season in the Premier League, but weary of the threat Mark Hughes' Stoke possess.
He said: "[Stoke] are a strong side, they went to Man City and beat them 1-0, not too many teams will do that this season."
What the managers said - Gameweek 4
I think we've got a chance of beating anybody at home
"I watched them against Leicester and I thought they played ever so well first-half."
"It'll be a tough game, but we're at home, we're positive and we're looking forward to the game.
"I think we've got a chance of beating anybody at home."
QPR lost 2-0 at home to Stoke in their last encounter - goals from Peter Crouch and Jonathan Walters were enough to all but seal the West London side's relegation fate.
