Preview: Queens Park Rangers vs. Swansea City

Sports Mole previews tomorrow's match at Loftus Road between two clubs that were promoted to the Premier League last season as Queens Park Rangers host Swansea City.

Struggling Queens Park Rangers will be looking to record their third straight home victory against Swansea City tomorrow night.

The R's have previously beaten Liverpool and Arsenal at Loftus Road as they attempt to avoid dropping back down to the Championship at the first time of asking.

Manager Mark Hughes will have Bobby Zamora and Joey Barton at his disposal after the pair missed Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Manchester United.

However, Shaun Derry will miss the encounter following the news that the Football Association has rejected his appeal against the red card that he received at Old Trafford.

Nathan Dyer may take the place of Wayne Routledge in the Swansea starting lineup, while Danny Graham and Scott Sinclair are also expected to be recalled.

Visiting Swansea have won four of their seven away matches in 2012.

Current form:

QPR: DLWLWL
Swansea: WWWLLL

Possbile lineups:

QPR: Kenny; Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Taiwo; Mackie, Barton, Diakite, Buszaky; Taarabt; Zamora

Swansea: Vorm; Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor; Dyer, Allen, Britton, Sinclair; Sigurdsson; Graham

Sports Mole says: 2-2
