Follow Sport Mole's live coverage of Queens Park Rangers head coach Chris Ramsey speaking to the media ahead of his side's match against West Ham United.

Chris Ramsey has insisted that Queens Park Rangers are entirely focused on avoiding relegation from the Premier League ahead of their match against West Ham United this weekend.

Leroy Fer and Yun Suk-young could both be available for the visit of the Hammers.

QPR sit 19th in the table, just two points from safety.

Read what else the managed discussed below.

Good morning! Queens Park Rangers head coach Chris Ramsey will be speaking to the media shortly as his side return from a two-week break with a London derby against West Ham United.
QPR had last weekend off, having originally been scheduled to face Aston Villa, who were in action in the FA Cup. That means the Hoops have had two weeks to stew on their 1-0 loss to Chelsea, which leaves them two points from safety.
QPR have struggled with injuries throughout this season, but there could be good news this week as Leroy Fer has said that he is hoping to return from a two-month absence with a knee injury in this weekend's match.
Ramsey could also be asked about the future of the club's top scorer this season, Charlie Austin. The forward has been linked with a number of other clubs, with Everton to most recent to emerge, but Ramsey would surely be keen to keep hold of the Englishman.
Don't forget, we have live coverage from an hour before kickoff from this and every other Premier League match taking place this weekend. We'll also bring you team news, half-time and full-time reports and plenty of post-match reaction and analysis, so make sure you're with us on Saturday to see if QPR can boost their survival hopes.
After this match, it's a difficult couple of weeks for QPR, as they face back-to-back trips to Liverpool and Manchester City, so picking up points in this fixture could be vital.
Right then, the manager is ready to go, so let's see what he has to say this week...
Starting by reflecting on the defeat to Chelsea, the manager says: "We were really frustrated at the end of the Chelsea game, so we probably didn't want the two week break. The last month of the season, all the results will be key. We just want positive results from our games."
Continuing on the prospect of the relegation fight, Ramsey adds: "All we care about is getting above that line by the end of May. That's all that matters. We've lacked concentration in the final moments. That's the difference, but in general our displays have been good."
Ramsey is asked about speculation surrounding the future of West Ham manager Sam Allardyce, but he insists: "I haven't paid much attention to the speculation around Sam's job. Whether it's true or false I don't know. I don't see why there would be speculation about his job, he's done a very good job at Upton Park. Sam will prepare his team as he always does. The speculation about his future will have no impact on the game."
Focusing on this weekend's match itself, Ramsey says: "I'm fully expecting a blood and thunder London derby. We will be positive and on the front foot and going for the win. Rio Ferdinand is nursing an injury. He could be out for a little while, but could be in contention before the end of the season. We've managed to get a lot of the guys who've had minor knocks out there training for the last fortnight."
On the rest of his squad's availability, Ramsey adds: "We're hoping at the very least Leory Fer will be on the bench for us this weekend. He's a big player for us. Yun is available this weekend. Rob Green has trained in his usual professional manner and I am sure he will be on top form this weekend."
Ramsey is asked about his own future at the club, but he insists: "Everyone is focused on the challenge, my future isn't a priority. Survival is in the forefront of our thoughts."
Well, that's all from Ramsey this week, so join us again on Saturday to see whether QPR can climb out of the bottom three. Until then, thanks for joining me this morning. Goodbye.
