Player to watch – Michael Frey
The visitors should go with Frey up top in this game. He’s the only QPR player to score more than once so far this term in the Championship, with the 30-year-old already bettering his tally of one goal in nine appearances last season.
Frey ready to fire
The Swiss striker has also scored in the EFL Cup, raising hopes that he may be capable of rediscovering his best form from his time in Belgium. His 24 Jupiler League goals for Antwerp in the 2021/22 season, came at a rate of one every 121 minutes.
