QPR have a full squad bar one for the first time since Harry Redknapp took over two years ago.

Only long-term injury Alejandro Faurlin and suspended Rio Ferdinand remains sidelined as Rs gear up to face Manchester City at home on Saturday night.

Midfielders Joey Barton and Jordon Mutch, keeper Alex McCarthy, and defender Nedum Onuoha are all back in training and available for selection against the Premier League champions. Ferdinand sits out the second of a three-game ban for an inappropriate tweet.

"Touch wood,  today is the clean bill of health since I've been at the club," said the manager. "It's good to have a full squad, but we have to play with same commitment as we showed against Liverpool and Aston Villa."

Heads up: Harry Redknapp

Redknapp poured cold water on a City in crisis, especially after a Champions League reverse on Wednesday night - but admitted this was one of the better times to play a team with a couple of 'dickie' results, as he put it.

"It's not the worse time to play them. They're not in sparkling form, but they're still dangerous, and have probably got the best player in the Premier League in Aguero.

"A couple of games, and they've got an ageing squad. Suddenly, it's a crisis. I don't think Aguero's ageing.

"Chelsea are the team to beat, but City will be up there."

In a week, when Rs fans have been lauded for their vocal support at Chelsea last week, Redknapp revealed Jose Mourinho had told him during the game how impressed he was with the noise.

"He came up to me and told during the game they were fantastic," Redknapp added. "There were 3,000 but it sounded like we had 15,000 - and that can make or break your team."
