Good afternoon and welcome to live text coverage of the Premier League, which starts this weekend with Norwich visiting QPR.

PENALTY QPR! Mackie gets in in front of Bunn, who cannot stop himself catching the striker's leg. Huge chance for the hosts...

That suggests that QPR have reverted to a 4-4-2, with Zamora and Mackie up front.

Norwich swarming now - QPR looking like a nervous side - time for a change. Zamora on for the home side in place of SWP.

WHAT A SAVE! HOOLAHAN DENIED BY CESAR! A sudden break from Norwich, Martin's cross is a cracker, and Hoolahan's poke looks goalbound. It's denied, and Holt can't knock the chance moments later in either.

These two teams are the only ones in the Premier League this season of which no one in the squad has reached 5 goals. Adel Taarabt is QPR’s topscorer with four goals, while Snodgrass, Holt and Pilkington have netted four for Norwich. (Infostrada)

Not seen much from the visitors in the second half so far - except for a caution, as Garrido clumsily blocks a surging SWP.

Mackie tries to flick on a Taarabt cross, but spoons it straight to Bunn in goal.

Referee Jon Moss has a word with Grant Holt, who is less than happy with one or two decisions so far. Don't mouth off, Grant. Not advisable. Although he's not punished with a booking for now.

This is Harry Redknapp’s 12th Premier League match in charge of QPR, 7 of those 12 games have been goal-less at half-time. There has been just 9 goals scored in the first halves of Redknapp’s matches in charge – 3 for QPR and 6 for the opposition. (Infostrada)

CLOSE! As you were from the first half, then - a set piece for QPR on the edge of the area, with Taarabt to deliver. But this is a good one from Taarabt, sneaking through everyone and creeping just beyond Mbia and the far post.

Second half underway! Noriwch this time kick off.

What did you make of that? How do you see the second half panning out? Have your say on Twitter with me @Mark_Eurosport

HALF TIME: QPR more lively, Norwich more assured. Stalemate doesn't much help either side, but it's what we have for the moment.

Just one minute more to be played of a pretty nondescript first half.

The corner very nearly creeps in! Bunn watches it well, but at a price - he falls into the goal and very nearly takes out Garrido, who's trapped with him in the net. Both see the funny side.

Taarabt stands over another set piece, Samba trudges up again. It's in his general direction, but Johnson knocks it away for a corner.

Only Southampton (23) have conceded more first half goals than Norwich’s 21 this season. However, only Liverpool have scored against the Canaries in their previous 3 first halves. (Infostrada)

Bassong clears away the latest set piece. The last few minutes have seen an end-to-end clash of terrible dead ball efforts.

Snodgrass shapes to shoot, but his set piece starts wide of the near post and no amount of curl is going to get it back on target. Meanwhile Michael Turner appears to have a bloodied nose.

Dreadful from Taarabt - then dreadful from Mbia, who hasn't learned his lesson and his arms wrapped around Bennett. Yellow card. Mbia doesn't like it, but he has no defence.

QPR break away, Martin gives Townsend a little shove in the back and now Rangers have a free kcik in a very similar position at the other end.
