Sports Mole previews West Bromwich Albion's trip to Queens Park Rangers on Boxing Day.

West Bromwich Albion travel to Queens Park Rangers on Boxing Day having ended a four-match winless run of form against Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.

They also head to Loftus Road with a positive record against their hosts, having not lost any of their last three meetings with the R's.

Meanwhile, QPR will be aiming to bounce back after they suffered their first defeat since Harry Redknapp took charge of club against Newcastle United at the weekend.

Redknapp could recall Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar following a back injury, but the defensive duo of Nedum Onuoha and Armand Traore are struggling to be fit with hamstring complaints.

In contrast, visiting manager Steve Clarke has no real injury concerns, with Youssouf Mulumbu also available after serving a suspension. Steven Reid and Claudio Yacob are both expected to be passed fit for the trip.
