Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes has claimed that he is excited by the relegation battle that his team are currently in.

The R's, who have lost four of their last six games in the Premier League, are outside of the relegation zone by virtue of goal difference.

"We're in a difficult situation in terms of where we are in the league and we have to turn that around," said Hughes. "I have every confidence in the quality of players that I have in the club now that we can do that. I have no doubt about that.

"We'll address that and we're looking forward to the end of the season. It is going to be really, really exciting times.

"It will be up and down, I'm sure there will be twists and turns, but we're of the view that we're good enough to stay up this year."

Rangers next host Everton in the league on Saturday.
