Wright senior predicts son Shaun could go down with QPR

Former Arsenal legend Ian Wright predicts son Shaun Wright-Phillips and his QPR team-mates will make an immediate return to the Championship because of a tough final run of fixtures. QPR have won just once in 16 games and have trips to Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City ahead of them.

The Rs also welcome Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham to Loftus Road before the season's end.

"I think the players that have come in have not performed to the level that they should, simple as that," he said at an Absolute Radio event to raise money for the Prince's Trust.

"I think that they've got quality players but they're just not playing well, none of them.

"When you get into a situation where you're losing it's hard to get out of it, and things like [Clint Hill's disallowed goal at Bolton on Saturday] happen.

"All of a sudden you score a goal, it's a foot-and-a-half behind the line, it doesn't get given and those are those are the things that go against you.

"Then you look at their run-in and I honestly can't see them getting a point out of that so it looks like, for me, Wigan, QPR and Wolves [to go down]."
