After taking maximum points against Leicester City at Loftus Road in a pulsating Premier League clash at the weekend, Harry Redknappâs charges will be confident of building on that result and performance with another improved showing versus the Swans. Charlie Austin was the hero of the hour once again on Saturday, scoring the winning goal â his seventh of the season â in a 3-2 victory that lifted the Râs off the foot on the table. Swansea, meanwhile, were held to a share of the spoils by Crystal Palace on Saturday. Leading thanks to Wilfried Bonyâs sixth goal of the campaign, Garry Monkâs men were pegged back when Mile Jedinak converted from the spot in the 25th minute. There were fewer opportunities after the break, Gylfi Sigurdsson twice firing off target from the edge of the area, as honours ended even. Rangers have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to SA1, with Yun Suk-Young expected to be fit despite limping out of Saturdayâs victory. Bobby Zamora, who missed the Leicester fixture owing to a back injury, is likely to return to the Râs squad, giving Redknapp a further attacking option. Monk has a strong squad to pick from, with Nathan Dyer back in contention to feature. please log in to view this image Possible Starting Xl's please log in to view this image - - - please log in to view this image Celebrity Fans please log in to view this image - - - please log in to view this image Catherine Zeta Jones (Swansea) & Mary Nightingale (QPR) PRE-MATCH TALK - SWANSEA V QPR Râs midfielder, Karl Henry: âIt will be a tough game, theyâre a good side who keep the ball well. âIt will be a different set of tactics for a game away from home. âOur home form has been good. We have a gameplan at Loftus Road and itâs working well. Itâs not pretty but weâre getting points, but we need to start picking up points on the road, itâs not enough to rely on your home form. âWe want to go there, make it ugly, make it difficult for them to play, and hopefully come away with something. âWe need to give the travelling fans something to shout about.â Swans boss, Garry Monk: âWe can't dwell on Saturday. That was the message to the players afterwards and we're now looking forward to Tuesday's game. âWe are improving as a team and that takes time. I'm always looking at things we can improve on but right now we're doing very well. âIt's always nice to have a full week of preparation for these games but all the players have experienced it before in their careers.â BET VICTOR Swansea City win: 3/4 Draw: 13/5 QPR win: 4/1 LAST MEETING - SWANSEA V QPR Swansea City 4, QPR 1 â Premier League â Saturday 9th February 2013 Scorers: Swansea City â Michu (2), Rangel, Hernandez; QPR â Zamora HEAD TO HEAD - SWANSEA V QPR Swansea City wins: 12 Draws: 12 QPR wins: 18 MATCH OFFICIALS - Referee: K Friend Assistant Referee: S Child & H Lennard Fourth Official: G Scott please log in to view this image
Nice as ever 9's. I'm sticking to my delusional first away win though entirely understand I should probably be locked up just for thinking it. The betting odds are interesting. They are not wildly apart.
The boy Nines does a grand job of this every game. A great feature of our Board. Who's that Knightingale sort?
Thanks mate. She's a newsreader. I'm sure Killy will furnish us with a full bio with some decent photo's of her at some point. please log in to view this image
Personally(and I know this won't mean much to anyone else) I want tonight to be the start of a double Welsh raid-with mighty Maidstone Utd turning over Wrexham in the Cup 2nd round on Sat!!!!
please log in to view this image Swansea... Fabianski, Richards, Bartley, Williams (C), Taylor, Britton, Ki, Routledge, Sigurdsson, Montero, Bony. Subs ... Tremmel, Amat, Carroll, Shelvey, Dyer, Barrow, Gomis.
Glad Dunne is back in. Think the balance may work today. Strong five men in midfield, with Vargas and Nick to support Charlie. For the record, by work, I mean grab a jammy point!!
Strange decision to drop Isla unless he's got a knock. Onuoha just isn't a full-back. That picture of Kranjcar suggests you wouldn't want him hanging out near schools.
I think Kranky played too well against Leicester to be dropped. It was obvious that Vargas would start on the right, but I was assuming it would be to accommodate OBZ's return.
1. Onouha is not a RB. But we have s very good one on the bench 2. We continue to play with 4 central midfielders. FFS. 3. We lack pace with no Isla or Hoilett. Did they leave Routledge out!!! 4. Barton is playing. 5. Swansea are a much better team than Leicester. They will pass us to death. We should start with BZ to bypass their midfield and then change if necessary. I'm not a fan of long ball football but sometimes needs must.
We will struggle big time with Ned at right back. Not confident now of getting anything from this game. Is Isla injured, if so why on the bench.
