BRIGHT OSAYI-SAMUEL insists QPR are ready to fire up their own play-off charge – at the expense of promotionc­hasing rivals Brentford.

The R’s highly-rated winger goes into today’s west London derby in the form of his life, having bagged three goals in his last two games.

And there will be a host of scouts in attendance to check out a wealth of young talent in both teams.

Osayi-Samuel, Ebere Eze and Ilias Chair are delighting Rangers fans, while

Ollie Watkins, Said Benrahma and Bryan Mbeumo are attracting rave reviews for their displays for the Bees.

With so much talent on show OsayiSamue­l (right) expects a derby cracker.

He said: “We feel that with a few wins we can get into the play-off mix. Everyone knows what this division is like, and we have a good team despite those who have doubted us.

“There has been chances not taken earlier in the season. But the last few games we have been doing that, and we are good enough to be up there.”

SCOTT PARKER admits that Fulham have revenge on their mind at Hull today.

The fifth-placed Cottagers were thrashed 3-0 at home by the Tigers back in November and boss Parker feels his men owe them one.

And he will target Jarrod Bowen after the Tigers’ 17-goal leading scorer netted in each of his last three games against Fulham.

Parker (right) said: “It’s the nature of sport. We got turned over and you have that element of revenge about you.

“I think they probably are the best team in the division when it comes to counter attacks – they are deadly. And up front, Bowen can cause you big damage.”
