Queens Park Rangers are travelling again after losing away to Watford in their previous match (0-4). QPR lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. It's a concern for Queens Park Rangers that their goalie Begović managed eight saves in the Watford match, but still couldn't stop a beating.

A 0-2 loss hosting Bristol City before that.
