Queens Park Rangers host Burnley at Loftus Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the penultimate round of games in the Championship. Both sides have very little to play for but for very different reasons.
QPR confirmed safety despite losing 2-1 to Swansea City on Monday, as they are seven points clear of the relegation zone with two games to go. Currently 15th, they have two wins in their last 11 games.
Burnley, meanwhile, confirmed their promotion with a 2-1 win over Sheffield United earlier this week as they seek to leapfrog leaders Leeds United, who are level on points. They are on a 31-game unbeaten streak in the league, having not lost since November.
