Queens Park Ranges are currently six points away from the play-off places, so Mark Warburton and his players will be dreaming of a return to the Premier League when the football returns.
If they manage to do just that, they will emulate Harry Redknapp’s side from 2013/14, who beat Derby County on their big day at Wembley in a dramatic game that is remembered for Richard Keogh’s mistake that allowed Bobby Zamora to win it late on.
Will QPR finish in the top six this season?
Yes
No
However, going back to April of that year, the R’s still had some work to do to ensure they finished in the top six and they actually confirmed their place in the play-offs with a 2-1 win over Watford at Loftus Road, which came six years ago yesterday. The club shared highlights of the game on Twitter, with the Hoops securing the points thanks to a Joey Barton free-kick and a 90th minute Charlie Austin winner.
