John Heitinga says that he expects Queens Park Rangers to set up defensively at Goodison Park this afternoon.

Everton defender John Heitinga believes that Queens Park Rangers will prove to be stubborn opposition.

The hosts are looking for three points this afternoon, which would keep their quest for Champions League football on track.

Meanwhile, the Hoops are battling against relegation and find themselves seven points from safety.

Heitinga believes that Harry Redknapp will set up his team to defend at Goodison Park and he is expecting a tough test.

"I think we've got the same desperation [for points] as QPR," the club's official website quotes Heitinga as saying. "It won't be an easy match.

"I remember the game at their place was tough as well. Everyone thinks it's easy and you'll win 4-0 but that's not the way football is at the moment.

"They will come to defend."

The Toffees are unbeaten in their last four outings, while the visitors are without a win in their previous three games.
