Team News: Three changes for Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers make three changes to their starting lineup for tonight's Championship meeting with Derby County, who remain unchanged for the match.

Queens Park Rangers have made three changes to their starting lineup for tonight's top-of-the-table clash against Derby County at the iPro Stadium.

Manager Harry Redknapp brings in Aaron Hughes, Tom Carroll and Gary O'Neil for the match, as QPR look to regain second place in the Championship from Burnley.

That means that Kevin Doyle and Andy Johnson remain up front for the visitors, while Modibo Maiga starts on the bench despite scoring the equaliser in their last outing.

Derby, meanwhile, have opted for an unchanged side to the one that conceded a late goal to draw 3-3 with Birmingham City last weekend.

Steve McClaren's men could close the gap on the top two to just one point with a victory tonight, and he has kept faith with the same XI as he tries to accomplish that.

Derby: Grant; Wisdom, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth; Eustace, Hughes, Bryson, Ward; Martin, Bamford
Subs: Legzdins, Hendrick, Russell, Sammon, Bennett, Whitbread, Thorne

QPR: Green; Hughes, Dunne, Hill, Assou-Ekotto; Kranjcar, Carroll, Barton, O'Neil; Johnson, Doyle
Subs: Murphy, Traore, Onuoha, Jenas, Henry, Hoilett, Maiga
