Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to bounce back following their defeat at Preston North End on Saturday.
The Owls will be without Fernando Forestieri as he serves a one-match ban following his dismissal at the weekend. Marco Matias and Aiden McGeady are among the options available to replace Forestieri who has been playing in a wide-left attacking position.
Sam Hutchinson could feature after a lay-off but it is possible that he may not be risked ahead of the trip to high-flying Hull City on Friday.
QPR travel north with no fresh injury concerns and the fitness of midfielder Ale Faurlin will be assessed before the game as he closes in on a return from an injury lay-off. Former Sheffield United winger Matt Phillips has been in good form for the R's and is likely to pose the main threat for the visitors.
Despite Saturday's setback Wednesday remain in the top 6 in the Championship and have lost only once at home this season.
QPR have lost just once in 7 games but have also found wins hard to come by as 4 of those 7 matches have resulted in draws.
The 2 sides played out a 0-0 draw when they met at Loftus Road in October. Wednesday beat Rangers 3-0 when they last met at Hillsborough in March 2014 and QPR have managed only 1 win in their last 6 visits to S6.
