When Neil Critchley took over the reins at QPR, he had big plans to continue the strong work of his predecessor, Michael Beale. However, his start to the job has been less than ideal, with only three points collected from the last four fixtures. The team suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat at home to Luton Town and also lost in the FA Cup third round to Fleetwood Town. But there were some positive moments in the recent 2-2 draw at Reading. Trailing 2-0 at halftime, the Hoops made a comeback with two goals from Tyler Roberts in the 60th and 88th minutes, showing that they have the determination to fight for points. Despite this, QPR is currently four points behind the playoffs and Critchley knows that he needs to secure a second win as soon as possible to keep the team's season from slipping away.
Queens Park Rangers' possible starting lineup
Dieng; Laird, Dickie, Dunne, Paal; Iroegbunam, Field; Roberts, Chair, Lowe; Dykes
Swansea City’s Form
Swansea, the underdog team that has been struggling in the league, has shown some signs of hope with their recent wins against Watford and Sunderland. Under the leadership of Russell Martin, they are determined to make a comeback and fight for a spot in the top six. Despite the disappointment of losing to Bristol City in the FA Cup, they are determined to bounce back and continue to push forward. With upcoming home fixtures against Birmingham City and Blackpool, Martin and his team are optimistic about moving into the top 10 in the coming weeks. However, they still need to work on their away game performance as they've only won four out of 14 away games. With tough matches against QPR and Sheffield United on the horizon, Swansea will need to find extra gear to come out on top.
Swansea City’s predicted lineup
Benda; Latibeaudiere, Cabango, Darling, Manning; Grimes, Allen; Cooper, Fulton, Cullen; Piroe
