Paul Lambert's Norwich did the double in this fixture last season, but this is a very different QPR side to the one beaten at Carrow Road last November. Indeed such has been the turnover of players, only three of the Rangers first XI from that game are likely to start on Saturday. "I think we've probably allowed 20 or so players to leave. We've been able to add maybe 12 or 13 players of, in my view, better quality," said the QPR manager, Mark Hughes. Both teams are hoping to bounce back from disappointing 5-0 opening-day defeats.
