Queens Park Rangers vs Stoke City - Match Preview

Team news ahead of QPR vs Stoke City in the Premier League afternoon. Kick-off time is at 2pm and the match won't be screened live anywhere in the UK. Thomas Sorsensen is likely to play in goal for Stoke as manager Tony Pulis has promised him some game time ahead of the Dane's Euro 2012 Championship next month. Number one choice Asmir Begovic will drop to the bench. Defender Andy Wilkinson (groin) and winger Jermaine Pennant (hamstring) are both doubts after missing the draw against Everton midweek. Midfielder Rory Delap, who has just signed a new contract with the Potters, is also struggling with a back problem. For Queens Park Rangers, playmaker Adel Taarabt returns from his suspension that saw him miss last Saturday's defeat against Chelsea. Samba Diakite is also struggling to recover from a virus and will be monitored late by manager Mark Hughes.
