QPR will face off against rival Stoke City on Saturday, placing two of the English Premier League's closely followed teams against each other.

QPR, coming out of a 4-0 loss to Manchester United, is expected to be the underdog of the match.

QPR manager Harry Redknapp recalled a "bad atmosphere" following Mark Hughes' leave, BBC Sports reports.

"When you go 13 games without a win there has to be something wrong," Hughes said, according to the site.

"There wasn't a good atmosphere about the place."

Stoke City, coming out of a 1-0 loss Leicester, is expected to be the favorite of the match.

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes said Toy Hodgson is wrong not to pick Ryan Shawcross, the Daily Mail reports.

"I've faced Man City three times as Stoke manager and they have only scored one goal against us," Hodgson said, according to the site.

"That's a feather in our cap because usually they just roll over teams."
