HARRY Redknapp hopes to have Julio Cesar, Armand Traore and Adel Taarabt fit for Saturday's relegation six-pointer at Aston Villa.

The trio missed QPR's victory over Sunderland at the weekend, which set up a massive clash with Villa, who are four points above them in the table.

And Rangers boss Redknapp is hopeful his crocked stars will be back in contention for the trip to Villa Park in a game he admits they can't afford to lose.

He said: “Julio had a dead leg, Traore had a slight calf strain and wasn’t quite right. Both of them should be fit for next week. Adel should be fit too.

"We’re looking for a win but you don’t want to get beat at Villa. We’ll think about how we'll play and hopefully come up with the right answer."
