Keane starts for QPR

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has opted to start on-loan Manchester United striker Will Keane in the lone role up front for his side's trip to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.

Forwards Charlie Austin and Bobby Zamora have both been left on the bench alongside Modibo Maiga, while Luke Young has been handed a start at the centre of defence alongside Richard Dunne.

For the hosting Blackburn, who maintain an outside chance of a place in the playoffs, Rudy Gestede and Jordan Rhodes play in attack in a 4-4-2 formation.

Blackburn: Robinson; Keane, Hanley, Kilgallon, Spurr; Cairney, Lowe, Williamson, Conway; Gestede, Rhodes Subs: Eastwood, King, Dunn, Varney, Taylor, Etuhu, Feeney

QPR: Green; Simpson, Dunne, Young, Assou-Ekotto; Hoilett, Henry, Benayoun, Carroll, Morrison; Keane Subs: Murphy, Austin, Yun, Zamora, O'Neil, Donaldson, Maiga
