Queens Park Rangers host West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday evening.
Now their FA Cup run has come to an end, Queens Park Rangers’ attentions return to the Championship as they host high-flying West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday evening.
Steve McClaren’s men have slid down to 18th in the table, after losing their last five league games and are without a win in 2019.
Their task has not been made any easier with the visit of West Brom, who will go within one point of the automatic promotion places with victory at Loftus Road.
QPR have no new injury concerns after the 1-0 loss to Watford on Friday night, and will likely stick to the 3-5-2 formation that McClaren has adopted for their last two games.
Once again, Matt Smith will be paired with Nahki Wells up front and the former will be looking to carry on his strong goal scoring form of late. Smith has scored eight and assisted eight goals in his last 16 Championship starts.
Across the middle of the park, Massimo Luongo and Jordan Cousins are expected to keep their spots with Luke Freeman in a more advanced role. Jake Bidwell and Pawel Wszolek will occupy the full-back positions and there could be a return for Joel Lynch.
The centre-back has missed the last couple of games owing to a back injury, but West London Sport has confirmed he is fully fit again.
If he does start, it will likely be Grant Hall who makes way for the Welshman, with Darnell Furlong and skipper Toni Leistner keeping their places.
