Team News

QPR
Birmingham
  • Rayan Kolli and Ilias Chair are both managing knocks, while Taylor Richards has been ruled out altogether.
  • Should Chair not be deemed fit to start on Friday, expect Paul Smyth to return to the starting XI out wide.
  • Gary Rowett may hand starts to Dion Sanderson and George Hall when Birmingham travel to London on Friday.
  • The Blues will be without three first-team players with Alfie Chang, Krystian Bielik and Marc Roberts all sidelined.

Prediction

  • QPR claimed a critical point against a free-falling Sunderland last weekend as they moved one point clear of the relegation zone.
  • The London club are now winless in their last three league games but with the pack at the bottom so closely packed, every point will matter over the coming eight matches.
  • Following a disappointing home defeat against Watford, Birmingham have opted to bring former boss Gary Rowett back to the club as a caretaker manager for the remaining eight games of the season.
  • The Blues have picked up just one point from the last 18 available and are only clear of the relegation zone on goal difference.
