Preview: FA Cup replay - Queens Park Rangers vs. MK Dons

QPR vs. MK Dons

Mark Hughes's first home match in charge of Queens Park Rangers will come on Tuesday evening when MK Dons visit Loftus Road in a round three FA Cup replay.

The visiting Dons will feel aggrieved to be playing this fixture, have led for a long time in the first match at Stadium MK, only for Heidar Helguson to score a stoppage-time equaliser for QPR.

Hughes will have to make do without the services of captain Joey Barton, who is serving the final game of his three-match suspension. Fellow central-midfielder Alejandro Faurlin will also be absent with a knee injury.

Dons boss Karl Robinson has a near fully-fit squad to call upon, which means Dean Bowditch is likely to continue up front.

The winner of this tie will host Chelsea.

Current form:

QPR: LLDLLL MK Dons: WLWDWD

Possible lineups:

QPR: Kenny; Young, Ferdinand, Hill, Traore; Wright-Phillips, Derry, Taarabt, Mackie; Helguson, Campbell.

MK Dons: Martin; Smith, Kouo-Doumbe, Williams, Lewington; Potter, Gleeson; Powell, Chadwick, Bowditch; Ibehre.

Sports Mole says: 2-0
