West Bromwich Albion travel to London for the first time this season as they take on Sky Bet Championship relegation battlers Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday evening.
The Baggies head to Loftus Road with one mission: to maintain the momentum and push on in the play-off fight. Success was managed in Friday's six-pointer against Coventry City as Carlos Corberan's side ran out 2-1 victors at The Hawthorns, but the gap to Norwich City in seventh is still merely four points. More is needed to further secure a top-six spot.
QPR are more of a threat than many would expect as Martí Cifuentes' men have recorded three successive victories, including a shock 2-1 win away at Championship leaders Leicester City. The Rangers are in 19th but just three goal difference above the relegation zone, making them just as desperate for the points – if not more so than West Brom.
Corberan is bound to show plenty of respect for QPR this midweek and the Spaniard is unlikely to rotate a great deal as a result. This is even despite the fact Albion play yet again on Sunday, away at Huddersfield Town. There's one big injury doubt as Conor Townsend felt his hamstring against Coventry, but otherwise it should be a fairly straightforward selection.

2. RB - Darnell Furlong
Furlong has been impressive at both ends of the field this campaign. He’s certainly improved an awful lot under Corberan. | Getty Images
3. CB - Cedric Kipre
Kipre is a shout for the player of the season, he’s been that impressive. The Ivorian is one of the first names on the team sheet. | Getty Images
