QPR v Blackburn line-ups: Youngster’s debut, Luongo back, Rovers man plays


Teenage forward Eberechi Eze makes his senior debut for QPR in the FA Cup third-round game at Loftus Road.

The 18-year-old, signed last summer after leaving Millwall, is joined in the starting line-up by the fit-again Massimo Luongo.

Matt Ingram comes in for Alex Smithies in goal and there are also starting places for Ben Gladwin and the recalled Nedum Onuoha.

Blackburn, meanwhile, are without midfielders Corry Evans and Craig Conway but have been given permission to select on-loan Southampton striker Sam Gallagher.

Rangers have not won an FA Cup tie at the first time of asking since 1997 and have never won in the competition under Ian Holloway.

QPR: Ingram, Perch, Onuoha, Lynch, Bidwell, Wszolek, Hall, Luongo, Gladwin, Eze, Mackie.
Subs: Lumley, Cousins, El Khayati, Ngbakoto, Shodipo, Manning, Hamalainen.

Blackburn: Raya, Greer, Williams, Lowe, Feeney, Marshall, Graham, Mulgrew, Gallagher, Akpan, Bennett.
Subs: Steele, Stokes, Nyambe, Tomlinson, Mahoney, Brown, Travis.
