Sam Allardyce doesn’t see Sunday’s visitors Queens Park Rangers as a struggling team despite the west Londoners sitting in third off bottom with just four points.

The west Ham manager – assessing the team’s next opponents – said: “People have being saying that they’re struggling but I don’t think you can say that yet.

“There hasn’t been much in the games they’ve played so far.  We’ve been attacking well and creating chances so far, so we need to continue that.

There’s very little difference between any of the teams outside maybe the top four of five these days.

“Last week Charlie Austin scored one of the best goals I’ve seen in a long time. I’m sure Harry knows he needs to get more goals, but we’ll try and stop them doing that come Sunday.”
