QPR v Northampton
QPR boss Gary Waddock hopes to receive international clearance in time to have summer signing Egutu Oliseh available.
Defender Dominic Shimmin could feature after serving a three-match ban, but forward Marc Nygaard (back) and keeper Simon Royce (groin) are still out.

Northampton's Joe Burnell (calf) and Chris Doig (leg) face fitness checks.

Striker Scott McGleish sits out the second match of his three-game ban, while David Hunt (groin) and Fred Murray (Achilles) remain sidelined.

QPR 3-2 Northampton
Teenage substitute Ray Jones scored his first career goal as QPR edged past Northampton in the Carling Cup.
Rangers took control early on when Lee Cook's low drive and Kevin Gallen's deflected free-kick put them 2-0 up.

Andy Kirk had already hit the post for the Cobblers when Jerome Watt pulled one back with a 25-yard strike.

Kirk levelled things up on 78 minutes with a superb curling shot but with extra-time looming, Jones met Marcus Bignot's cross to nod home the winner.
