Half-time: Arsenal 0 QPR 0
QPR reached the interval on level terms after managing to frustrate Arsenal in the London derby at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners went close to scoring when Aaron Ramsey’s looping header from Bacary Sagna’s right-wing cross hit the top of the bar.
Rangers survived another scare after Jack Wilshere’s long-range shot was fumbled by keeper Julio Cesar, who later looked much more comfortable while keeping out an effort from Olivier Giroud.
With captain Ji-sung Park having failed a fitness test on a knee problem, R’s boss Mark Hughes restored Shaun Wright-Phillips to the starting line-up.
QPR (4-4-1-1): Cesar; Bosingwa, Mbia, Nelsen, Traore; Wright-Phillips, Granero, Diakite, Taarabt; Hoilett, Zamora.
Subs: Ferdinand, Cisse, Mackie, Mackie, Onuoha, Ephraim, Faurlin.

Although it is wonderful to see Mackie working twice as hard as anyone else on the bench, there is something even more earth shattering to address at half time. GRANERO, BRING BACK THE BUCCANEER HAIRDO!!!! It is THE most luxurious, most couture, most worthy of a Queen’s admiration. I had pronounced it the mane of the season and you’ve given it the chop. Argh.
