Head to Head

QPR have shown some play-off form going into the final few games of the season – Warburton’s side return to West London today on the back off back-to-back away wins, and having won seven of their last nine matches at home.

The Rs have scored 10 goals in their last three home ties alone and it’ll give them hope of beating a Norwich City side who’ve lost back-to-back games in the Championship.

Norwich though haven’t lost on the road in seven outings (six wins, one draw), and will be gunning to ensure that the Championship crown is theirs after whats been a stellar season.

The reverse fixture at Carrow Road back in December ended in a 1-1 draw. QPR have only beaten Norwich City once in their last six meetings, winning two of the last three in West London.

The game isn’t being broadcast on generic TV, but will be shown live on either club’s website.
