Last Season v Wanderers: Sam Allardyce's side completed the double of QPR last time out and will hope to repeat that feat this year. The first half of the double was completed early season at the Reebok as Holdsworth and Gudjohnsen scored to give Wanderers a 2-1 victory. Jensen separated the two sides in the reverse fixture to complete a 1-0 win and a memorable double.

Last Year's Top Scorer: Chris Kiwomya

Key Man: Queens Park Rangers manager Gerry Francis has many talented youngsters pushing for first-team places, but none more so than Stuart Wardley. Wardley was plucked from non-league obscurity at the beginning of last season and proved an instant hit with his silky skills complementing his goal-scoring prowess. It remains to be seen whether he can carry on his meteoric rise through the divisions, on a personal level or with Rangers.
