Preview

QPR were ahead for just three minutes in gameweek seven as Callum Styles put West Brom back on level terms and salvaged a point for the Baggies. After starting the campaign with 10 points from a possible 12, the London club are now winless in their last three.

Freddie Draper scored the only goal of the game last weekend as Lincoln beat a floundering Preston side 1-0 at Deepdale. That result ended Paul Heckingbottom's tenure, as the former Sheffield United boss was sacked after overseeing six defeats in seven Championship outings this season.
