Queens Park Rangers will be looking to return to winning ways when they make the short trip to Reading on Tuesday.

The R’s have lost back-to-back games in recent weeks and boss Steve McClaren really needs to get a positive result from the Madejski clash.

Another potential defeat will see McClaren accumulate more pressure from the fans but he will be buoyed by the return of the club captain.

Toni Leistner is set for a recall after missing the weekend loss to Swansea City and he will likely slot back into the heart of the defence.

Rangers are unlikely to make too many more changes, so Joe Lumley will take the gloves with Jake Bidwell, Angel Rangel and Joel Lynch lining up in defence.

Eberechi Eze and Luke Freeman will occupy the flanks with Massimo Luongo and Geoff Cameron in the centre of midfield.

Goal-shy strikers Tomer Hemed and Nahki Wells will once again be selected up front, with the pair in desperate need to find the back of the net.
