Team News
Queens Park Rangers will once again be without Bobby Zamora for this weekend's visit of Stoke, with the striker serving the second of his three-match suspension. Loic Remy is likely therefore to continue his role as a lone-forward although Harry Redknapp could opt to pair him in attack with Jay Bothroyd if he goes for a 4-4-2 formation. Left-back Armand Traore is pushing for contention having recovered from a calf problem. Stoke look as though they will once more be without winger Matthew Etherington, with the 31-year old still struggling with the back injury that ruled him out of the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United. Marc Wilson could return, however, while manager Tony Pulis remains hopeful "one or two players with niggles" will be fit.
Key Stats
QPR only have one win in their last six Premier League games. Stoke are without a win in any of their last six and have collected just a single point in their last seven. Harry Redknapp has won just four of his 20 Premier League games in charge of QPR, meaning that he has exactly the same win percentage as both Mark Hughes and Neil Warnock as QPR boss in the competition (20%). Stoke have won fewer points than any other Premier League side in 2013 (5). (Sky Sports)
