QPR will welcome Cardiff City to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium for an EFL Championship fixture on Saturday.
The two sides come into the game on the back of opposing results. The hosts fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Blackburn Rovers last Saturday. Reda Khadra's 77th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two teams.

The win saw the Welsh outfit climb to the 18th spot in the table, having garnered 39 points from 35 matches. QPR's loss to Blackburn saw them drop beneath the Lancashire outfit into fifth position.
