Team news for our trip to QPR

Jaap Stam has made two changes to the starting eleven that earned a 1-1 home draw with Derby County before the international break.

Tyler Blackett returns from suspension to resume his place at left-back, while Joey van den Berg - who missed out on the Rams clash with an illness two weeks ago - will begin at centre-back in place of injured skipper Paul McShane.

Chris Gunter is handed the captain's armband in McShane's absence, while four Academy prospects are named on the bench - Dominic Samuel, Tennai Watson, Jordan Obita and Liam Kelly.
