Preview

Rumarn Burrell was the hero for QPR on Wednesday night as his brace helped claim all three points against newly promoted Cardiff. The London club have picked up 10 points from a possible 12 this season, putting them second in the standings, only behind Swansea on goal difference.

Middlesbrough were forced to settle for a point against a struggling Burnley side in midweek as Aidan Morris' opener was cancelled out by a second-half Ugo Raghouber goal. The Teessiders travel to Loftus Road having taken seven points from the last nine available.
