Cardiff City v QPR line-ups: Caulker starts, R’s star passed fit, Cardiff men return
Steven Caulker starts against his former club – the defender’s first league appearance since October last year.
Caulker, preferred to Alex Baptiste, plays because Joel Lynch has a hamstring injury.
With James Perch also sidelined, Darnell Furlong starts against the Championship leaders.
There is also a starting place for striker Matt Smith, while Pawel Wszolek is a substitute.
Midfielder Josh Scowen has been passed fit to play after recovering from a minor injury.
Cardiff’s ex-QPR boss Neil Warnock recalls Sean Morrison, Aron Gunnarsson, Kenneth Zohore and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing. Former Rangers man Junior Hoilett also starts.
Cardiff: Etheridge, Peltier, Bamba, Morrison, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Damour, Mendez-Laing, Hoilett, Zohore.
Subs: Murphy, Ecuele Manga, Richards, Tomlin, Ward, Halford, Bogle.
QPR: Smithies, Furlong, Onuoha, Caulker, Scowen, Luongo, Freeman, Bidwell, Washington, Mackie, Smith.
Subs: Ingram, Robinson, Ngbakoto, Wszolek, Baptiste, Sylla, LuaLua.
