Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City will both be looking to return to winning ways when they face each other at Loftus Road on Tuesday evening. This follows disappointing defeats in their last outings.
The home side slipped to 15th on the Championship table with a loss away to Brentford, and are six points off the playoff spots.
The visitors, on the other hand, still remain in one of the playoff spots despite their defeat - occupying the fifth position with 24 points from 14 matches.
There is clearly a lot at stake for both clubs going into this fixture, and anything less than three points will be seen as a disappointing result by their fans.

QPR vs Bristol City team news
QPR
Queens Park Rangers will be without right-back Todd Kane, who was sent off in their recent defeat against Brentford.
Midfielders Luke Amos and Charlie Owens are long-term absentees. Striker Lyndon Dykes bagged his fifth goal of the campaign in his last outing, and will be raring to add to that tally against an average Bristol City defence.
Injured: Luke Amos, Charlie Owens
Doubtful: None
Suspensions: Todd Kane
Bristol City
Dean Holden's men were thoroughly outplayed in their last match against Reading, and the gaffer will be particularly furious with his team's lack of scoring threat.
Bermudian striker Nahki Wells came off the bench to score an eventual consolation in their recent 3-1 loss, and could push for a start this midweek. Important individuals like Andreas Weimann and Alfie Mawson remain sidelined.
Injured: Andreas Weimann, Nathan Baker, Alfie Mawson, Liam Walsh, Joe Williams
Doubtful: None
Suspensions: None

QPR vs Bristol City prediction
Neither of these two teams have thrilled in attack or been rock-solid at the back all season, but both should find themselves on the scoresheet in this encounter.
Mark Warburton's side weren't terrible in their latest defeat, and will consider themselves a little unlucky not to have earned something from that match. QPR showed enough positives to be given the edge at home this time around, and we expect the hosts to win on Tuesday.
Prediction: QPR 2-1 Bristol City
