Some midweek action for the boys, taking on the club one spot behind them in the table.
Here's the preview from the QPR site...

Barnsley fans could be forgiven for forgetting about the Coca Cola Championship campaign altogether over the coming weeks.
Hot on the heels of their stunning FA Cup victory against Liverpool at Anfield, the Tykes were handed a plum home tie against Chelsea in the quarter-final draw.
Yet while the visit of Avram Grant's billionaires will be at the fore-front of their thoughts in the weeks ahead, it's the bread and butter of the second tier that will take centre stage tonight, as the R's make the long trip to Oakwell for their rearranged fixture in Yorkshire.
Rangers could welcome Gavin Mahon (knee) back to the fold after the midfielder failed a late fitness test on Saturday afternoon.
Fellow midfielder Akos Buzsaky is likely to return following a one-match suspension, while Chris Barker is available again following his successful hernia operation.
Barnsley will be minus the services of midfielder Anderson De Silva, who sustained a knee injury in Saturday's defeat at Norwich, but Jon Macken, Lewin Nyatanga and Kayode Odejayi could all return.

Barnsley will be without midfielder Anderson De Silva for the home clash with QPR.
The Brazilian sustained a knee injury in Saturday's defeat at Norwich and will undergo a scan to determine the exact nature and extent of the problem.
Tykes manager Simon Davey is expected to promote Sam Togwell to the starting line-up from the substitutes' bench, but has the option of switching Bobby Hassell from full-back.
Striker Jon Macken and defender Lewin Nyatanga could return to the starting line-up, while Kayode Odejayi is also pushing for a recall.
And the form guide...

The Rs are a decent 7th, while Barnsley are not as hot in the league as they are in the cup - lying 18th. Just 6 points from their last 6 Championship matches.
UUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRs!
