Round 24 of the EFL Championship comes to an end at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium where Queens Park Rangers play host to Bournemouth on Monday.
The hosts will aim to return to winning ways and strengthen their position in the playoff places. Meanwhile, the visitors head into the game on a six-game winless run but could move top of the table with all three points.
Queens Park Rangers were denied their fourth straight win three weeks ago as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Stoke City.
Prior to that, Mark Warburton’s side were on a six-game unbeaten run in the league, dating back to November 26, when they crashed out of the EFL Cup following their loss against Sunderland.
With 35 points from 21 games, QPR are currently fifth in the EFL Championship table, level on points with sixth-placed Stoke City.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth were condemned to a second straight defeat last time out as they were beaten 1-0 away to Middlesbrough. Scott Parker’s men head into Monday’s game without a win in any of their last six league games, picking up three draws and losing three in that time.
With 43 points from 23 games, the Cherries are currently second on the log, two points behind league leaders Fulham.
