Harry Redknapp insisted that revenge will not be on his agenda when his former team meet his current side at Loftus Road on Saturday. "I won't be thinking: 'It's Tottenham, we have to beat them,'" said the Rangers manager. "QPR are my club now, I'm not interested in Tottenham." Spurs have won seven of their last nine in the Premier League and will be confident of making that record read eight in 10, but QPR stunned Chelsea last time out in the league and could prise themselves from the foot of the table with a point.
