Arsenal look bankers at 4/9 to win their derby game against QPR at Loftus Road today (5.30pm KO, Live on ESPN).
The stats reveal that the Gunners have never won at Loftus Road in the Premier League era (D3, L2), but they come into the game in top form having lost just one of their last 13 matches in the top flight (W9, D3).
The home side, who got relegated last weekend following their 0-0 draw at Reading, have have now gone 275 minutes without scoring in the top flight and have not won any of their last six matches (D2, L4).
Harry Redknapp’s men also have the worst record in London derbies this season and the worst home record in the league, whereas Arsenal have the third best record on the road.
Everything suggests that a comfortable success should be on the card for Arsene Wenger’s side and Theo Walcott looks the value play to fire them to victory.
His strike against Manchester United last week was his 19th of the campaign and he is now just one short of the 20 target he set himself.
At 9/2 with Betfred and Coral he looks a worthy favourite to bag the opener, and the 5/4 available with 888sport about him netting anytime looks amazing value given that he is generally odds-on elsewhere.
