PREVIEW: Oxford United vs Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers are Wednesday evening's visitors to the Kassam Stadium (7:45pm kick off) for their first competitive visit to the ground. The last time QPR played in Oxford was at the Manor in September 1998, a game that the U's won 4-1.

Rangers currently sit in 16th place in the Championship, just one point better off than the U's who are 18th. 

The atmosphere on Saturday was incredible. We kindly ask supporters to arrive early in their seats and bring the noise starting during the player warm-ups to give Gary Rowett's side the support they need on Wednesday night. 

With exciting pre-match arrangements planned, we promise you'll want to be in the stadium early for this one!

UNITED, WE FIGHT. 

OXFORD UNITED

United will be going into the game full of confidence following Saturday's 1-0 win over high-flying Sheffield United. Gary Rowett needs to decide whether to stick with the winning team or if he needs to freshen things up ready for Wednesday night.

Skipper Elliott Moore and former QPR winger Matt Phillips remain sidelined, but Greg Leigh has been training with the squad and could be involved.

QUEENS PARK RANGERS

QPR are on a run of seven games without a win and have lost their last six away games. On Saturday they were held to a goalless draw at home by Cardiff City.

Marti Cifuentes' side is suffering from injuries at present, with no fit attackers in their squad. Already missing leading scorer Michael Frey, as well as Rayan Kolli and Zan Celar, Alfie Lloyd was forced to leave the pitch with a hamstring strain during the Cardiff game.

In addition, Ilias Chair, Harvey Vale, and Jake Clarke-Salter are all absent, while doubt remains over skipper Steve Cook. Koki Saito misses out due to suspension.

There are 2,000 free parking spaces at the stadium, but they do tend to fill up quickly, so please try to arrive early if you intend to park there. There are also marked parking bays along Grenoble Road to the east of the ground. Do not park on the grass verges or in the restricted areas in the nearby residential streets.

The gate behind the Planet IT North Stand will be closed before and after the game, meaning no pedestrian access between the east and west car parks via that route.

Motorcyclists are advised that parking is permitted again at the southeast bike rack area. Supporters should enter via the east car park entrance and use the left-hand side of this area. If this area is full, please use the northeast parking area and do not park on the road. Supporters parking in the southeast corner will be subject to the 20-minute hold post-final whistle on all traffic movement in this area.

Please note that Stagecoach has a new route that operates between Redbridge Park & Ride and Thornhill Park & Ride that runs every half hour on Saturdays, stopping outside the Kassam Stadium in both directions. See the timetable HERE.
