QPR are looking to climb up the table

QPR host Preston at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, with both sides having underwhelming seasons so far.

Despite their strong start to the campaign, QPR saw a dip in form at the start of September, which now sees them in eighth in the table.

Mark Warburton's side snapped their five-game winless streak with a 2-0 win against Birmingham last time out. The Hoops will look to take that momentum into the game against Preston on Saturday.

Preston, on the other hand, are on a nine-game unbeaten streak. However, Frankie McAvoy's side have only managed to win one of their last six games across all competitions. The Lilywhites are currently 17th in the table and will hope to win the game against QPR on Saturday.

With both teams looking to climb up the table, Saturday's fixture is sure to be an exciting matchup.
