Marti Cifuentes’ side have now lost just once in 12 league games – a run which has included seven wins – and seen QPR rocket up the Championship standings.
Cifuentes declared “We had a difficult start to the season and worked relentlessly. We cannot change now because results are going our way. In two weeks you can change a lot your position in the table and the mood of the team. The team has been competing at a really high level and we need to keep pushing forwards and improving.”
Defender Liam Morrison appears to be close to returning from injury but looks unlikely to slot into the side in midweek, though Jake Clarke-Salter could be recalled at centre-back. Jack Colback is also pushing for a start but Steve Cook, Karamoko Dembele and Zan Celar remain on the longer-term treatment table.
