Derry looks for Fulham revenge

QPR midfielder Shaun Derry wants to exact revenge on Fulham this weekend after suffering a 6-0 thrashing at Craven Cottage earlier in the season.

Andrew Johnson's hat-trick spurred the Cottagers to victory in the first meeting of the west London rivals since 2001. The teams come up against one another again on Saturday, where QPR will be hoping to gain a first victory over Fulham since 1983.

Derry wants to put October's 6-0 defeat to bed in a game that has added tension due to former Fulham duo Mark Hughes and Bobby Zamora moving to Loftus Road.

"It's another big game that we've got to win," the midfielder told the club's official website, www.qpr.co.uk.

"It's against a local rival and also one that we lost 6-0 to only a few months back, which hurt the boys. It will be nice if we can avenge for that defeat. Fulham come with a Premier League pedigree. At our place, we haven't been doing so well.

"We've got to start looking at ourselves, first and foremost. Fulham are in front of us and that's the team that we've got to beat but, in my eyes, we took one of their top two centre-forwards off them in Bobby Zamora, so that's going to be beneficial for us."
