The action continues in round 31 of the EFL Championship as Queens Park Rangers and Norwich City lock horns at Loftus Road on Saturday.
Having failed to win the last eight meetings between the sides, Marti Cifuentes’s men will head into the weekend desperate to get one over Norwich and secure back-to-back home wins for the first time this year.
Queens Park Rangers continued their push out of the relegation zone as they secured a 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park last Saturday.
Cifuentes’s side have now gone three consecutive games without defeat, picking up two wins and one draw since a 2-1 loss against Watford on January 14.
With 28 points from 30 matches, QPR are currently 22nd in the EFL Championship table, three points behind Huddersfield Town just above the relegation zone.
Elsewhere, Norwich City returned to winning ways last weekend when they edged out 10-man Coventry City 2-1 at Carrow Road.
David Wagner’s men had lost their previous two outings across all competitions, including a 5-2 hammering at the hands of Liverpool in the FA Cup fourth round on January 28.
With 44 points from 30 matches, Norwich are currently ninth in the league table, just one point adrift of sixth-placed Hull City in the final playoff spot.
