Newcastle boss Pardew: Redknapp will keep QPR up

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew believes QPR rival Harry Redknapp will lead his team out of the dropzone.

Pardew is confident that his opposite number will emerge from the drop zone he himself populated until four wins on the spin.

"Harry's CV and reputation speak for themselves - he's been there and done it. He knows that his team is playing well," said the United manager.

"When I was under a difficult spell, just before the big disappointment at Southampton (4-0 defeat), we were terrific but didn't win a game.

"I think that's where QPR are. They are better than the position they are in and we'll see that.

"We won't be surprised to get a tough game. I think there will be goals, hopefully we'll get one more than them.

"But I always enjoy Harry's teams. They play to win, like my teams, and are always on the front foot with flair."
