Asmir Begovic has been instrumental for QPR this season, bringing valuable experience to the team as their goalkeeper.
The defensive lineup is likely to remain unchanged following their match against Norwich City, with Colback and Isaac Hayden expected to retain their places in midfield after Colback’s goal-scoring performance last weekend.
Isaac Hayden joined QPR from Newcastle United in the previous transfer window, signing a deal until the end of the season, following a loan spell at Standard Liege in Belgium last year.
QPR successfully retained Chris Willock and Ilias Chair during the winter transfer window, which boosts their chances of avoiding relegation.
Joe Hodge, who impressed after his move from Wolves, marked his debut with a goal against Blackburn Rovers. Sinclair Armstrong, known for his pace, is anticipated to lead the attack once again.
New signings Michael Frey and Lucas Andersen may feature as substitutes.
