The Fan Zone

Ben Platt (W12 Podcast): Tomorrow’s clash at Loftus Road against Millwall isn’t just another fixture — it’s one of those gritty, hard-fought London derbies that’s so often tight and decided by the odd goal. QPR head into this one in fine form: six games unbeaten and yet to lose at home, climbing up to 6th in the table. It may be early days, but for R’s fans, it’s unfamiliar - and very welcome - territory. The shift away from the possession-heavy, play-out-from-the-back approach to a more compact, low-block and counter-attacking style has paid off, bringing solidity and results in equal measure.

Team news is unusually positive - funny how a good run changes everything. Poku, Chair and Clarke-Salter are all back in training and could return to the squad, though it remains to be seen if they’ll feature. Norrington-Davies is also close to a comeback after his injury layoff. With a near fully fit squad at his disposal for a busy three-game week, Stephans has plenty of options to work with.

Prediction: 1-1
