please log in to view this image QPR are back on the road again tonight (Tuesday), with a trip to Sheffield Wednesday in the Sky Bet Championship. Three days on from the 1-1 draw at Bolton Wanderers, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s side will be looking to return to winning ways, but it certainly won’t come easy against an Owls side gunning for promotion to the top-flight. Carlos Carvalhal’s side – who currently sit sixth – owe much of their lofty league position to their incredible home form. They have only lost once in front of their own fans this term – against high-flying Middlesbrough six months ago. Whilst Rangers left it late to salvage a share of the spoils at the Macron Stadium this weekend, Wednesday succumbed to a shock 1-0 defeat at Preston North End. PNE front-man Joe Garner powerfully headed Calum Woods' cross past Keiren Westwood for his fourth goal of the season – six minutes before that, Wednesday's top-scorer Fernando Forestieri was sent off for a second bookable offence. The Italian was yellow carded for a dive early in the second half before being penalised for a deliberate handball, and will miss tonight’s clash at Hillsborough. The loss was Wednesday's first in the league since December 28th and saw them slip six points adrift of the automatic promotion places. R’s midfield lynchpin Ale Faurlin remains a doubt for the trip to the Steel City with the thigh injury sustained against Ipswich Town just over a fortnight ago. please log in to view this image Sheffield Wednesday – Likely line-up (4-4-2): Westwood; Sasso, Lees, Hunt, Pudil; Wallace, Bannan, Lee, McGeady; Hooper, Nuhiu QPR Possible Starting Xl ( I've Gone With Norway's Choice v Bolton ) please log in to view this image MATCH ODDS Sheffield Wednesday win: 4/5 Draw: 12/5 QPR win: 3/1 LAST TIME OUT QPR 0, Sheffield Wednesday 0 – Championship – Tuesday 20th October 2016 HEAD TO HEAD Sheffield Wednesday wins: 28 Draws: 15 QPR wins: 20 MATCH OFFICIALS Referee: A Davies Assistant Referees: W Barratt & P Hodskinson Fourth Official: G Salisbury please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Just A Random Photo Of QPR Fans At Loftus Road
A tough test tonight. The funny thing is we often do well when in tough tests and perform shockingly when we should have an easier time. It would be good to see Ale on the bench at least. Then again I'm all for Ale taking precautions, considering his injury history.
Guessing this game won't be streamed anywhere will it. A classic evening of listening to the football on the radio. Lovely.
Been looking and can't find it on the radio either. Not on BBC London or BBC Sheffield. If I've missed it somewhere PLEASE put a link up.
How can this be a hard game? I remember many posters stating after the home game that Wednesday are a side we should beat easily! A point tonight would be very welcoming.
Thanks 999 This is a really difficult one. Wednesday are a good team built on spirit and team ethos. They are worth a top 6 spot....Will be happy if we just make a game of it...
Can't post on my phone...perch angelka hall Ned Henry tozser Luongo Phillips El k conor I do not like that
Nasser starts. Well deserved. Ale out still unfortunately. He's shaken the team about a bit and it looks good apart from the missing Ale.
It's all about the "ons"! Diakite on the bench. Konch on the train to Leicester? Ned on the left? Perch on the left? Tosser on the pitch. El K on the pitch. Chery on the bench. Toilet on the bench/toilet. JFH on something?
Who is playing at LB? It could be Perch, Angella or Ned. My guess is Perch at LB with Ned at RB. Although, Angela is left footed.
