John Gregory is set to recall a quartet of first team players to his starting line-up for the visit of Cardiff City to Loftus Road on Saturday.

After being forced to make changes for the Carling Cup tie against Leyton Orient in midweek, the Hoops gaffer is expected to revert to a similar side to that which performed so encouragingly in the 2-2 draw at Ashton Gate last weekend.

Gregory told www.qpr.co.uk: "Dexter Blackstock and Danny Nardiello come back in to the starting line-up.

"JC (John Curtis) and Damion (Stewart) will return after being rested and Hogan (Ephraim) will also be back in the fold after being ruled out on Tuesday."

Gregory added: "It's always important to start the season with a home victory and we're confident we can do that against Cardiff tomorrow (Saturday)."
