Queens Park Rangers vs Norwich City prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2020-21

Queens Park Rangers aim to make it three wins on the spin in the EFL Championship when they face Norwich City at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Saturday.

The league leaders are currently on a two-game losing streak and will be looking to return to winning ways.

Queens Park Rangers made it two wins from two games last week as they claimed a 1-0 win over fourth-placed Swansea City.

With the game headed for a draw, Lyndon Dykes grabbed a last-gasp winner in the 89th minute to hand QPR a hard-earned victory.

With 62 points from 43 games, the hosts currently occupy eighth position in the log, six points behind Reading and one ahead of Cardiff City.

Norwich City, meanwhile, fell to a 3-1 defeat against Bournemouth last Saturday. This was followed by yet another defeat as they lost 1-0 to Watford last time out.

In an end-to-end affair, Dan Gosling’s 57th-minute strike was all that separated the two sides at the Carrow Road Stadium.

With three games left in the regular season, Norwich City need just one win to be crowned champions. Daniel Farke will now charge his men to grab the all-important win on Saturday.
