Recent respective form guides

Queens Park Rangers need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Rangers have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Norwich City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Canaries have hit 10 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Queens Park Rangers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 24 games have yielded only 16 points.

Norwich City find themselves struggling down in 14th position in the league having picked up 27 points from their 24 matches.
