Queens Park Rangers are desperately searching for their first win in the Premier League and manager Mark Hughes will be hoping that it comes against West Bromwich Albion this weekend.

Queens Park Rangers face a tough task at The Hawthorns when they take on West Bromwich Albion this weekend, with the former Championship side desperate for points.

Mark Hughes's men have yet to win a game in the Premier League this season, while the Baggies have had an inconsistent period by recording a defeat, a victory and a draw in their last three fixtures.

Steve Clarke is likely to start Shane Long, with Zoltan Gera slotted just behind the frontman, while Youssouf Mulumbu and Claudio Yacob should hold firm in midfield.

Meanwhile, Hughes could put his trust in Djibril Cisse and Bobby Zamora to find the goals, while Adel Taraabt could be handed a starting spot over Shaun Wright-Phillips following his strike against West Ham United on Monday.

Recent form:

West Brom: DWLWD
QPR: DLDLL

Possible lineups:

West Brom: Foster; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Popov; Morrison, Mulumbu, Yacob, Brunt; Gera, Long

QPR: Cesar; Hill, Nelsen, Mbia, Onuoha; Taraabt, Granero, Faurlin, Park; Zamora, Cisse

Sports Mole says: 1-1
