Looking to avoid a third defeat on the bounce in the EFL Championship, Stoke City visit the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium to take on Queens Park Rangers on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into the game on a three-game winning streak and will be looking to maintain their rejuvenated form.
Queens Park Rangers continued their fine string of performances last Monday as they came from behind to snatch a 2-1 win away to Derby County.
Mark Warburton’s men have won their last three games, while they are unbeaten in six, dating back to October’s 2-1 loss against Peterborough United.
With 35 points from 20 games, Queens Park Rangers are currently third in the EFL Championship table, eight points behind first-placed Fulham.
Meanwhile, Stoke City failed to return to winning ways last time out as they fell to a slender 1-0 defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers.
This followed a similar 1-0 defeat against Bristol City which saw their three-game winning streak come to an end.
The slump in form has seen Stoke City drop outside the playoff places as they currently occupy seventh place, two points behind Coventry City in the final playoff spot.
