SEASON SO FAR

Ian Holloway's men come into the game currently sat in 11th position and have had a mixed start to their Championship campaign with three wins, two draws and three losses. Last time out they lost 3-2 away to Middlesbrough. All three of their wins have come at home against Reading, Hull City and Ipswich Town highlighting how strong they are at home.

BURTON TEAM NEWS

After the Brewers made 9 changes for the Manchester United tie, most of the side who played against Fulham will be fresh. Defender John Brayford should be back in the squad after being cup-tied, midfielders Matty Palmer and Hope Akpan will be pushing for a start after returning at Old Trafford. Liam Boyce is out long term and Will Miller is struggling with a hamstring injury.

QPR TEAM NEWS

Midfielder Jordan Cousins could return after recently returning to full training, captain Nedum Onuoha is out after tearing his hamstring. James Perch, Joel Lynch and Grant Hall are all expected to also miss out through injury.

Holloway said ahead of the match: "Every game is a challenge and Burton have showed with their last two results, they are a fantastic team. I expect them to arrive with confident mood. Nigel is a fantastic manager, they've got a lot of spirit and are showing clubs how you can build yourselves."

 

LAST TIME OUT

Last time the Brewers went to Loftus Road they came away with an impressive 2-1 victory. The Brewers took three points in February, thanks to goals from Luke Murphy and Lloyd Dyer with Conor Washington scoring a late consolation for Rangers.
