    QPR v Bristol City

    please log in to view this image

    BBC
    QPR will hope to recover quickly from Saturday's 7-1 hammering at West Bromwich Albion when they host Bristol City on Tuesday.

    Former Swansea full-back Angel Rangel is likely to be unavailable again following his move last week as he is still short of match fitness.

    Bristol City have several injury worries as they search for their first Championship win of the season.

    Captain Korey Smith is their latest absentee as he requires knee surgery.

    Match facts
    • QPR are unbeaten in their last 16 home games in all competitions against Bristol City (W9 D7) since a 1-0 defeat in April 1977.
    • Bristol City have not kept an away league clean sheet at QPR since August 2001, when goalkeeper Mike Stowell did so.
    • The only previous meeting between Steve McClaren and Lee Johnson ended 3-3 in a Championship fixture in February 2017 when McClaren was manager of Derby.
    • Neither Bristol City or Bristol Rovers have ever won away at QPR in a second-tier match in 16 attempts (D5 L11), with City failing 14 times and Rovers twice.
    • QPR have lost one of their last 21 home league matches on a Tuesday (W13 D7), although that defeat was a 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Newcastle United in September 2016.
    • QPR have conceded 10 goals in their opening three league matches of this season - their worst-ever start to a league season in their history.

    SKY
    QPR will attempt to bounce back from a humiliating 7-1 defeat at West Brom when they host Bristol City, live on the Sky Sports red button.

    Rangers are still without defender Darnell Furlong who is recovering from knee surgery. Veteran full-back Angel Rangel joined the club last week but is not expected to feature as he is short of match fitness.

    Midfielder Sean Goss has returned to training following a back problem.

    Bristol City have problems in defence with Nathan Baker, Bailey Wright, Taylor Moore and Jens Hegeler all carrying injuries. Boss Lee Johnson had to pair Eros Pisano and Adam Webster at centre-half in Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Middlesbrough.

    Goalkeeper Frank Fielding and winger Hakeeb Adelakun remain on the long-term injury list. Striker Famara Diedhiou is still suspended as a result of the ban he received for spitting during the game against Birmingham City back in April.

    Opta stats
    QPR are unbeaten in their last 16 home games in all competitions against Bristol City (W9 D7) since a 1-0 defeat in April 1977.

    Bristol City haven't kept an away league clean sheet at QPR since August 2001, when goalkeeper Mike Stowell did so.

    The only previous meeting between Steve McClaren and Lee Johnson ended 3-3 in a Championship fixture in February 2017 when McClaren was manager of Derby.

    Neither Bristol City or Bristol Rovers have ever won away at QPR in a second tier match in 16 attempts (D5 L11), with City failing 14 times and Rovers twice.

    QPR have lost one of their last 21 home league matches on a Tuesday (W13 D7), although that defeat was a 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Newcastle United in September 2016.

    QPR have conceded 10 goals in their opening three league matches of this season - their worst ever start to a league season in their history.

    Prutton's prediction
    It's safe to say the coach trip home from the Hawthorns would've been very quiet after QPR's 7-1 thrashing by West Brom on Saturday. That said, Bristol City have had players leave left, right and centre so I think it could be a difficult away trip for them. Steve McClaren needs to see a reaction from his Rangers squad so I'll go for a stalemate in this one.

    Prutton predicts: 0-0

    We should be able to win this one.

    Glad Elliasson is back, but still not happy with the patched up defence.

    Weimann makes it 3-0. Just what was LJ thinking off spending 2 million on him he’s never going to score :emoticon-0127-lipss

    Needed that - sounded like the margin flattered us a bit, but 3 points is always cause for celebration.

    Barring the Plymouth game, we are exactly where we were this time last season, including goals for and against. Also this time last season Reid had 4 the same as Weimman.

    Nice tidy 3 points for the lads at a place where we don't win very often. Hopefully it will settle the nerves but another 3 points from the next game please.

    Rodney and one four Matty scored and two assists.
    We still need to strengthen this squad,the better of two poor teans tonight.
    By the way Joe Bryan will not be missed as we had the best cover for him.
    The lad was class tonight will go right too the top.

    Managed to watch most of the game thanks to this bar in Costa Del Sol:

    Not a great game but 3 points away are very welcome.

    Where did he get his two assist? Because he didn’t get one tonight, or the previous games this season.
