Tomer Hemed and Nahki Wells are in line for their QPR debuts against Wigan Athletic in a must win game Saturday.

Queens Park Rangers will be hoping it’s fifth time lucky as they take on Wigan Athletic at Loftus Road on Saturday.

The Hoops have lost all four of their Championship games this season, and manager Steve McClaren is certainly feeling the heat. Indeed, the fans are already on his back, and defeat today could see the end of his short reign as QPR manager.

After conceding seven at The Hawthorns last week, QPR were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Bristol City on Tuesday, but a new strikeforce is in line to start against The Latics.

Tomer Hemed and Nahki Wells have joined on loan from Brighton and Burnley respectively, with McClaren hoping they can make an instant impression.

Beefing up defence in the next few days is still the priority for QPR, but with a new goal threat in place, it’ll be an intriguing game against Paul Cook’s side.
