Rangers will of course want to end the second decade of the millennium on a winning note, especially considering they were beaten at Reading on Boxing Day. Three points for Mark Warburton’s team would secure a league double over Hull, who currently sit one place above the R’s in the Championship table in 13th. A Ryan Manning goal plus a pair of penalties from Ebere Eze saw QPR come from behind to beat Hull at the KCOM Stadium in October. Since then Hull’s form has been impressive but last time out they were beaten 2-0 by Nottingham Forest. Team news QPR: Charlie Owens (knee), Yoann Barbet (hamstring), Angel Rangel (doubt). Hull City: Callum Elder (hamstring), Keane Lewis-Potter (illness), Josh Magennis (hamstring). Pre-match words QPR manager Mark Warburton: “In matches recently we have been sloppy in parts but when we play at our tempo and at our pace, moving the ball quickly, we look a very good team. We have created chance after chance, and the longer we do that we will be ok.” Hull City manager Grant McCann: "We've got to go to QPR and get a response. Over the last 12 games, we've won six of them, which isn't too bad. We need to make sure we respond from the Boxing Day defeat at Nottingham Forest. We've lost the game, lost three points, but we've got plenty of time to make it up."
This is a 'family and friends' fixture - whereby season ticket holders could buy extra tickets for £10 - so we're having a proper Xmas family outing. My son and I are always there, but we're being joined by my wife, my two daughters and my grandson. Let's hope in doesn't turn out to be a pantomime.
