QPR are likely to make a couple of changes for the visit of Norwich City Saturday.

Queens Park Rangers will be looking for their third league win on the bounce when they host Norwich City at Loftus Road on Saturday.

Boss Steve McClaren has overseen a change in form in recent weeks, with the R’s picking up ten points from the last 12 available (promotion form!).

Millwall were the latest side to taste defeat to the improving Super Hoops on Wednesday, but changes are likely ahead of the Canaries visit.

Geoff Cameron, who made his full debut against the Lions, is expected to be rested as he is still not quite fully-fit – so Josh Scowen could return.

Tomer Hemed is also set for a recall up front, which will in turn likely see QPR line-up in a traditional 4-4-2 formation.

Eberechi Eze, who stole the show against Millwall, will therefore drop back into a midfield role which could see him given the license to support Hemed and Nahki Wells.

Defensively, Rangers will stick with the same back five who have conceded once in four games, but McClaren might be tempted to give Osman Kakay a start over Angel Rangel.

Three games in a week might be too much for the 35-year-old, but he likely be considered for the Carabao Cup tie at Blackpool in midweek.
