Oxford United make the short trip to Loftus Road this evening (7:45pm kick-off) to take on Queens Park Rangers, with both teams having 18 points. United are currently 18th in the table, with Rangers just one place behind them.
OXFORD UNITED
The U's will be boosted by the return to the squad of winger Kyle Edwards who has been out injured since 5 October.
Looking ahead to the game, United head coach Des Buckingham said: "I've looked forward to all the games, as the players have this year. It's another good club and with our game at Plymouth called off we managed to get to Loftus Road and they were very good. They got a good scoreline against a good Norwich team.
"We've prepared as well as we can. The players are in a really good place and we're looking forward to what we know will be another good game in front of what has been an unbelievably supportive and well-attended away crowd.
"We've had that at home for a long period of time before and after promotion, but the away fans, for the time it takes them and the cost that is certainly now attached to Championship level games, to do what they do in their numbers and get behind us has been so important and will be again tomorrow."

QUEENS PARK RANGERS
QPR will be buoyant after their 3-0 win over Norwich at the weekend. However, it came at a cost with Žan Celar receiving a hamstring injury against the Canaries. Kenneth Paal also came off at half time but it is anticipated that he will be available for selection.
Rangers gaffer Martí
“The problem is that you’re already thinking of the next game straight after. But I was very happy for the fans, who’d waited too long to get the home victory.
“It was another clean sheet for us, too - credit to the players against a team with the attacking capabilities like Norwich.”
