QPR defender Clint Hill has admitted that their game against Everton this weekend could be more difficult than their previous encounters.

The Toffees have had a flying start to the season, and are currently fourth in the Premier League table, winning six out of their seven matches in the league so far this season.

However, in marked contrast, QPR are still winless in the Premier League this season and are sitting at the bottom of the table.

Hill admits that the statistics will be against them at Loftus Road on Saturday, despite QPR getting good results from games against Everton last season.

He says: "We had decent results against them last season but they're flying high right now. They've been fantastic so far. They usually start badly and finish well but they've done the opposite this time. They have fantastic players, team ethic and it will be another tough game."In the same fixture last season in March, QPR were able to secure a draw against the Toffees.

However, QPR did manage to win against Everton, which was the first game they had won in the Premier League since 1996.

Owner Tony Fernandes recently backed Mark Hughes to remain as the QPR boss despite the club's current form.

Everton's Victor Anichebe has also made it clear that the Toffees should not be taking QPR lightly on Saturday. He told everton.tv:"They haven't really done so well so I'm sure they will look to change that against us and we need to be wary of that".

However, QPR are helped by Everton's loss of Marouane Fellaini, who has been vital to the Toffees' success so far this season, as he is out with injury.
