Preview: Watford vs. Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers will be looking to get their season back on track away at Watford after suffering two straight defeats in their last two games.

Despite their recent poor form, Harry Redknapp's side are still just three points off top spot in the Championship table and they will be hoping to claim the victory that takes them above their promotion rivals.

Joey Barton is in line to return from suspension for QPR and is expected to start in midfield alongside Gary O'Neil.

Meanwhile, Watford will be hoping to continue on from their impressive display in the 4-0 win over Millwall and get themselves up the table towards the playoff places.
