QPR travel to Ewood Park - the home Blackburn Rovers - on Saturday afternoon, aiming to bounce back from last weekend's defeat at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Rangers boss Mark Hughes will be keen to see a response from his side in Lancashire, against a Club he managed for nearly four years between September 2004 and June 2008.
Heading into a crucial weekend of fixtures in the Barclays Premier League - where the bottom six are all in action against each other - just three points and three places currently separate 16th placed Rangers and 19th placed Rovers.
Former R's defender Bradley Orr could feature for the hosts following Gael Givet's red card against Arsenal last weekend, but want-away defender Christopher Samba is still out.
Hughes, meanwhile, will be minus the services of striker Djibril Cisse, who is serving a three-match ban.
Heidar Helguson, DJ Campbell and Luke Young are also ruled out, but Jay Bothroyd, Akos Buzsaky and Danny Gabbidon could all return.
Likely Starting XI ...
Robinson
Orr - Dann - Samba - Olsson
Hoilett - Nzonzi - Dunn - Pedersen
Yakubu - Modeste
Player to Watch ... David 'Junior' Hoilett (Striker)
Striker David Hoilett is a product of the Club's Academy set-up and has been on the books at Ewood Park since the age of 13.
'Junior' spent two seasons on loan in the early stage of his career, with German outfits SC Paderborn and St. Pauli.
After a successful work permit appeal in the summer of 2009, the Canadian-born forward was finally able to call himself a fully-fledged Blackburn Rovers player, making his debut on the opening day of the 2009/10 campaign.
Hoilett penned a two-and-a-half year deal in February 2010.
Last year was a successful outing for the youngster, as he notched up his first Premier League goal.
Hoilett has bagged three goals to date this term.
