Harry Redknapp insists that his QPR side have not given up hope of escaping from the Premier League relegation zone in the closing weeks of the season.
The R’s are currently seven points adrift of safety with six games to play, with a tough trip to Everton on Saturday next on the agenda, but Redknapp is not prepared to throw in the towel just yet.
We need to win four games and draw one to give ourselves a chance.

He said of the clash at Goodison Park: “It’s massive. There are not many tougher places to go than Everton.
“We need to win four games and draw one to give ourselves a chance. It’s (staying up) going to be hard, but while there’s still a chance, you’ve got to keep believing.”
Rangers are 7/1 to win on Merseyside and 15/4 to gain a draw, while they are 1/33 to be relegated to the Championship.
Meanwhile, Redknapp has bemoaned the lack of a consistent attacking partnership, with January recruit Loic Remy having suffered several knocks despite scoring five times in eight outings.
Now Bobby Zamora, who has also been sidelined by injury, will miss the next three games due to suspension, leaving Redknapp to make more changes in attack.
He added: “When Bobby and Remy have played together we always look like we’re going to win, but we can’t get the partnership together.
“Often one of them has been injured and now Bobby’s suspended. This has cost us dearly.”
