QPR haven`t lost any of their last eight home league games against Sheffield Wednesday (W3 D5).

Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in their last four against the Hoops (D2 L2), conceding just once in that run.

Ian Holloway hasn`t won any of his last 11 league meetings with Sheffield Wednesday (D4 L7), though his last win was as QPR boss in May 2004 in the third tier.

Steven Fletcher has yet to score in successive away appearances for the Owls, last doing so in August 2015 with Sunderland.

None of QPR`s last 34 home league games have ended goalless – the last nine have seen both sides score.

QPR have lost their last four league games, each by a one-goal margin.

Since Ian Holloway`s first game back with the R`s in November, only Huddersfield (77) and Wolves (75) have made more changes to their starting line-up than QPR (74).
