Queens Park Rangers will host West Bromwich Albion at Loftus Road Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts put up a disappointing performance on the road last time out and will be keen to make improvements and get a result this weekend.
Queens Park Rangers gave Norwich only their third win of the season as they fell to a 3-1 loss against the relegation-threatened side last Saturday and have lost four of their last seven games.
The Hoops, who are currently sat in 13th place, had a poor start to the season but put together a solid run of results in September and October to move higher up the league table and now sit only four points behind the promotion playoff spots approaching the mid-season mark.
West Brom were outstanding in their last outing, coming back from a two-goal first-half deficit to get a 3-2 win over Swansea City last weekend, and are now tied on points with this weekend's opponents.
The Baggies just missed out on promotion playoffs last season and will be keen to close that gap this season, but will need to string together a run of consistent results in the coming weeks to keep that dream alive.
