History of the Queens Park Rangers v Norwich City fixture

Norwich City face a trip to Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Canaries will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 30 and win only 11 of the 56 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2009, with Norwich City inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Rangers in a Championship match.
