Queens Park Rangers
- Queens Park Rangers have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games, following up their most recent 4-1 home win over Leicester City with a 1-1 away draw at Portsmouth and a 2-1 defeat to West Brom.
- Julien Stephan has begun to stamp his identity on the Hoops, implementing a patient, possession-based system where the players are aware of their positions and press in numbers, but with discipline, in certain areas of the pitch.
- Rumarn Burrell is the team’s most dangerous player and can be deadly in a variety of positions - he leads the team with nine goals from 24 Championship games this season.
- QPR have won six, drawn two and lost three of their 11 home matches in the Championship, a record that has seen Loftus Road become a formidable ground for any team to visit.
Sheffield Wednesday
- Sheffield Wednesday sit bottom of the Championship with -7 points after 23 games played this season, reflecting a season plagued by setbacks.
- Henrik Pedersen continues to employ a high-tempo, high-energy pressing game and his team continue to play that style, but he faces mounting pressure amid the club’s off-field turmoil.
- The Owls are winless in their last five matches, drawing three and losing two, a run of results which included back-to-back 0-0 ties with Blackburn Rovers and a 2-2 home draw with Hull City.
- Barry Bannan has been the team’s top scorer, with just three goals from 23 league games, and is the most creative player on the pitch as he dictates play from deep.
