QPR v Arsenal
Saturday 31 March 2012, KO 15:00

The brief euphoria following their excellent come from behind win against Liverpool was quickly over for QPR as they slumped to another defeat this past weekend.

Sunderland are a tough side to beat but the Hoops once again made it difficult for themselves with the sending off of Djibril Cisse when already one nil down. This is he second time Cisse has been sent off since joining in the transfer window and Mark Hughes will no doubt be regretting his decision to bring the Frenchman in.

Hughes dropped captain Joey Barton for the game but it’s difficult to say whether or not the move backfired as with the sending off, you don’t get a true reflection.

Arsenal continue to go from strength to strength and have now won their last six games in the Premier League. Arsene Wenger’s men are now three points clear of Tottenham and making third place their own.

There is still a lot of football to be played between now and the end of the season but Arsenal are certainly in the driving seat as far as automatic qualification into next season’s Champions League is concerned.
