Huddersfield Town head to Loftus Road this afternoon to face Queens Park Rangers for the latest chapter in their quest for SkyBet Championship promotion.
David Wagner 's side travel to the Capital having lost only once in the last 10 league matches and come off the back of two impressive home victories over Brighton & Hove Albion and Leeds United.
However, QPR has never been a happy hunting ground – the Hoops never losing a home league game against their West Yorkshire visitors, winning nine and drawing three.
Town will be without forward Kasey Palmer after he was ruled out for up to eight weeks with a recurrence of a hamstring injury sustained in the FA Cup 3rd Round tie against Port Vale.
Meanwhile, the hosts could give starts to transfer deadline day signings Matt Smith and Ravel Morrison but defender Jack Robinson (hamstring) is still out.

FT: QPR 1 Huddersfield Town 2
THAT’S IT! THE REFEREE FINALLY BLOWS THE WHISTLE FOR FULL-TIME....THANK GOODNESS, THAT WAS TOO TENSE AT THE END!
Another Chance!
90+6 Minutes: The ball falls to Grant Hall on the edge of the box - thankfully his volley goes high and wide.
Town Chance!
90+5 Minutes: Hefele clears down field to Brown who has to go it alone - running at the QPR defence before curling just wide.
Super Save!!
90+3 Minutes: A QPR corner is cleared but it falls to Yeni Ngbakoto 25 yards out who drives goalwards only for Danny Ward to make a super save with his feet!
Keep Ball
90+2 Minutes: Town trying to keep the ball up in the corner, but the Hoops are going route one....this is nervy stuff here.
Extra Time
90 Minutes: The referee has indicated there will be SEVEN minutes of added time at the end of this game.
I CAN’T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS!
Handball Appeals
89 Minutes: Another penalty claim for QPR is waved away by the referee as Michael Hefele is deemed to have put the ball out for a corner legally...
Booking
85 Minutes: Massimo Luongo is booked for a foul on Billing - the Dane is receiving treatment but something tells me he’s milking it a little bit to take the sting out of the game....

Meanwhile, for QPR Pawel Wszolek is replaced by Yeni Ngbakoto.
Nervy
76 Minutes: A bit of respite for Town as Wells goes down to earn a free-kick - Aaron Mooy whips it in for a corner which is cleared by QPR who race down field.
A good ball is delivered to the back post but Danny Ward comes out and claims well - I can’t take too much more of this!
Free-Kick
71 Minutes: The resultant corner is cleared but a free-kick is awarded just outside the area for handball - after the first one is blocked, Izzy Brown is booked for dissent.
This could be a long twenty minutes at this rate...
Superb Save
70 Minutes: QPR quickly come at Town again and are only denied an equaliser by the goalkeeping heroics of Danny Ward who tips Matt Smith’s attempt over the bar.
Phew!!!!
68 Minutes: Manning swings in a free-kick and Matt Smith goes down, the Loftus Road crowd are on their feet cheering as the referee appears to blow up for a penalty - but he’s given offside!! Phew!
Town are really on the rack at the moment....
Chance!
66 Minutes: Izzy Brown finds Nahki Wells who hits an early left footed effort just wide of Alex Smithies’ far post.
Opening Up
65 Minutes:Billing fires over from 25 yards out before van La Parra drills wide from a similar distance - the game has really opened up with that QPR goal.
QPR 1 Huddersfield Town 2
