Blackburn v QPR line-ups: Eight Rangers changes

Joe Lumley is again in goal for QPR and the fit-again James Perch returns to the starting line-up for the match against Blackburn at Ewood Park.

With goalkeeper Alex Smithies, who had been lined up to replace Rob Green, out with an elbow injury, the 20-year-old Lumley makes his league debut for the R’s.

Conor Hudnott, a keeper signed by Rangers after being released by Chelsea two years ago, is on the substitutes’ bench.

QPR are still without Charlie Austin, so Sebastian Polter is up front. There are eight changes to the side that lost at Nottingham Forest on Saturday in the FA Cup.

Blackburn, meanwhile, are without the injured Nathan Delfouneso, Danny Guthrie and Fode Koita.

Blackburn: Steele, Marshall, Duffy, Hanley, Spurr, Bennett, Evans, Akpan, Conway, Lawrence, Rhodes.
Subs: Raya, Henley, Brown, Olsson, Williamson, Taylor, Lenihan.

QPR: Lumley; Perch, Onuoha, Hall, Konchesky; Faurlin, Henry; Phillips, Fer, Hoilett; Polter.
Subs: Hudnott, Angella, Chery, Luongo, Tozser, Mackie, Petrasso.
