Arsenal vs. QPR: Preview, Live Stream, Start Time and More

Arsenal has been on an all-out rampage as of late, and with a match against the lowly Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, it doesn't look like they'll be slowing down any time soon.

The Gunners have won seven straight Premier League games, including last week's dominant 3-0 victory over Aston Villa. Arsenal controlled possession 78 percent of the time and held Villa without a shot on goal for the entire match.

QPR, meanwhile, is sitting near the bottom of the EPL standings with six wins, seven draws and 17 losses. Although they posted an encouraging 3-2 victory over Liverpool last week, they were blasted 3-1 by Sunderland just three days later.

I'm expecting a similar outcome in this match.

Where: Loftus Road Stadium, London, England 

When: Saturday March 31, 10 AM EDT

Player to Watch for QPR: Jamie Mackie, Midfielder

Mackie is QPR's second-leading goal scorer, netting five goals on the season. His most recent, and most important, came in injury time of the Rangers' thrilling victory over Liverpool.

Mackie has recently said that he'd like to be in the starting lineup (we'll get to that below), and with forward Djibril Cisse serving a four-match ban, manager Mark Hughes may want to listen to him. The Rangers will certainly need his goal-scoring ability against Arsenal

Player to Watch for Arsenal: Robin Van Persie, Forward

The Dutchman is a one-man wrecking crew on the field. He's already racked up 26 goals (1st in EPL) and nine assists (fifth in EPL) this season.

As the popular saying around Emirates Stadium goes, Van Persie scores when he wants to. Don't be surprised if he pads his goal total against QPR.

Key Matchup: Paddy Kenny vs. Arsenal's strikers

Kenny struggled mightily in QPR's loss to Sunderland, allowing three goals on just four shots on target. With the likes of Van Persie, Theo Walcott and Mikel Arteta bearing down on him, he's in for another tough outing on Saturday.

Unless Kenny plays out of his mind, QPR has no chance of upsetting the Gunners.

What They're Saying

As I said earlier, Jamie Mackie has publicly stated that he'd like to be the starter. From TribalFootball.com:  

"

When you're a pro and you work hard, you're very disappointed to be on the bench," Mackie said. "I feel my performances have been good enough to play in the side. I've never been one to sulk and want to prove that I belong at this level. If you're coming off the bench you've got an opportunity. But like I say, I think I deserve to play. If I was the manager I would pick me.

"

Although Van Persie has been dominant this season, Sachin Nakrani of The Guardian notes that he isn't the only capable striker on Arsenal:

"

Ten different players have contributed to the 22 goals Arsenal have scored in their winning run and while Van Persie's seven is by far the largest share – he has 33 in total this season – and two others have come from the departed Thierry Henry, it should still encourage the club's supporters that others have got involved.

"We know it's not good to rely on just one player," said [Kieran] Gibbs, whose 16th-minute strike opened the scoring against Villa and was the 22-year-old's second goal for club. "He [Van Persie] is one of the best strikers in the world but I'm sure he'll enjoy sharing the goals with the other players.

"

Prediction: Arsenal 3, QPR 1

Arsenal has scored at least two goals in five of their last six matches, including a seven-goal explosion against Blackburn and a five-goal performance against Tottenham.

With Kenny struggling in the net, Van Persie and Co. should have no trouble putting points on the board. I don't think they'll notch their third consecutive shutout, but they will win big regardless.
