Squad sheets Queens Park Rangers v Stoke City

QPR's fortunes took a distinct turn for the worse with last Sunday's 6-1 humiliation at Stamford Bridge, but other results ensured they remain in control of their own destiny. However, with a last-day visit to Manchester City to come, this match feels like win or bust. While Mark Hughes would greatly enjoy possibly denying his former employers the title next weekend, he knows how hard that will be. Beating a tired Stoke on Sunday could be sufficient to keep Rangers up, and they welcome Adel Taarabt back from suspension.
