QPR Vs Preston Team News
Leon Scarlett and Koki Saito are jostling for a place in QPR’s starting XI owing to Paul Smyth’s injury at West Brom last week. The Northern Ireland international tried to play on but eventually succumbed in the 35th minute. Staying on the injury front, Tariq Lamptey, Ilias Chair and Jimmy Dunne are out. The same applies to Boy Kemper and Richard Kone.
Meanwhile, Preston will once again be travelling without Brad Potts. Midfielder Ali McCann is also missing so the starting XI should look fairly similar to the one that lost to Lincoln. Jusef Erabi could lead the line while Liam Gibbs or Harry Clarke could get the nod at right-back.
