[Teams] QPR vs Arsenal: Van Persie & Koscielny Start

Arsenal travel across London to face Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road this afternoon, and we have the confirmed line-ups.

The Gunners are on a seven-match winning run that has seen them leap-frog Tottenham into third place and now hold a three point advantage over their rivals. An eight win here would see them consolidate third ahead of Tottenham’s game with Swansea on Sunday.

Boss Arsene Wenger has recalled defender Laurent Koscielny, who missed last weeks win over Aston Villa, and he partners Thomas Vermaelen at the back.

Here are the confirmed line-ups

QPR Team

Kenny, Diakite, Hill, Derry, Taarabt, Mackie, Barton, Taiwo, Ferdinand, Onuoha, Zamora.

SUBS: Cerny, Gabbidon, Campbell, Bothroyd, Buzsaky, Young, Wright-Phillips.
