[R] in this thread for all Championship games
Rangers News:
Two wins in a row have pulled the R's up to 19th in the table and 5 points (plus superior GD) ahead of the relegation zone. A win today would go a long way to making sure we're in the Championship next season.
There's no word yet on the official site regarding today's lineups. Cook, Mancienne, and Idiakez could return after missing on Saturday due to injuries. Blackstock got a slight ankle injury on Saturday after we'd already used all three subs, but he's likely to feature today.
The Opponent:
Former Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell has just taken over at Luton after signing a four-year (!) deal. Luton had lost six straight before he took over. They drew 0-0 at Burnely in his first game in charge, but an 0-2 defeat at home against Southampton on Saturday leaves them five points behind Leeds and safety.
The Hatters have gone eight straight without a win (0-1-7), dating to a 3-2 home win over Sheffield Wednesday on February 20th.
The Series:
This is the fourth meeting this season between the sides. QPR won the other Championship meeting this season, 3-2, at Kenilworth Road. In the FA Cup, the sides drew 2-2 at Loftus Road before Luton won at home in the replay, 1-0.
Overall, the R's lead the series, 36-28-31, while they lead in league play, 32-24-29.
Elsewhere in the bottom third of the table:
17 Burnley 40 0 48 - home v. Cardiff
18 Leicester 40 -9 47 - away v. Plymouth
19 QPR 41 -13 46 - home v. Luton
20 Hull 41 -14 44 - away vs. Wolves
