Your support makes all the difference.Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Hughes takes an injury-plagued defence to the Hawthorns on Saturday with his side at the foot of the Premier League table.
The 48-year-old admitted he is unlikely to have injured Fabio da Silva, Anton Ferdinand and Jose Bosingwa back in time for the trip to the West-Midlands and after conceding 13 goals in six games so far this season, he’ll be hoping the injuries don’t mount as speculation surrounding his position does.
The West-London club are yet to win a game in the Premier League this season, while the Baggies have had an inconsistent period by recording a defeat, a victory and a draw in their last three fixtures.
KICK-OFF: Saturday, 3pm

STATS...
