Preston North End make their first trip to London this season on Saturday, facing up against Steve McClaren’s Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.
The side’s meet for the second time this season, with a lot of water under the bridge since the first clash, at Deepdale, on the opening day of the season in August, when – like last season’s trip to Shepherd’s Bush – the game was settled by an Alan Browne header.
Since the early campaign encounter QPR have made a number of experienced additions to their side and picked up some excellent results – in fact, prior to last weekend’s trip to face Sheffield United at Bramall Lane – they had gone six games unbeaten, so it will be a test for Alex Neil’s men.
However, following a battling point against Swansea City last weekend, they will be looking for three points on the road, with the manager hoping to have more members of his squad back available.
