Redknapp to get off to a flyer

Harry Redknapp's back in the dugout, and if he is to be believed his grandkids will be decked out in QPR kits when his new side pitch up at Sunderland.

The R's are propping up the table and they need a bit of the much vaunted new-manager syndrome. As such, take Redknapp's men to get off to a flyer through Adel Taarabt, before allowing Sunderland to hit back for a 1-1 draw at 55/1 with bet365.

Two other strugglers lock horns in the Midlands, with Aston Villa hosting Reading. Villa have won one of their last 11 home games, but have never lost to Reading at Villa Park.

With Paul Lambert's side all too aware that points are vital and buoyed by a decent showing against Arsenal last time out, expect them to score the only goal of the game at 7/1 with bet365.
