QPR boss Harry Redknapp admits their clash with Aston Villa is massive to their survival hopes.
The Rs can drag Villa back into the relegation mire with a win.
Redknapp said: "This is a huge game at Villa Park and if we can get a win there it will make a massive difference to the league table.
"Villa are a massive club with a young, inexperienced team and the pressure of the home crowd in a game like this could play on their minds.
"We've got some big-game players and hopefully that will count in our favour - but it's vital we don't concede an early goal to give them a lift."
