Queens Park Rangers want to build on their win at Oxford United and finish as high up the Championship table as possible, head coach Marti Cifuentes says.

The Rs ended a run of seven matches without a victory in their 3-1 win at the Kassam Stadium on Wednesday.

The result lifted the Hoops seven points clear of the relegation zone with five games remaining of the season.

They host play-off chasing Bristol City on Saturday with Cifuentes keen for a win that would take them through the 50-point barrier.

"First target [is] to reach the 50 points. Second target is to see if we can improve on last season in what has been an extremely challenging season so far," Cifuentes told BBC Radio London.

Cifuentes has challenged his players to finish as high as they can in the table

"The target is always to try to be better than what we were yesterday, let's see if we can get those three points for our fans.

"The job is not done and no matter what, we want to finish in a good way the season."

Bristol City are fifth in the table and go into the game off the back of two consecutive wins, with Haydon Roberts scoring a dramatic late winner against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday.

QPR go into the game without midfielder Sam Field, who injured his ankle and suffered a concussion against Oxford, as well as left-back Kenneth Paal, who injured his hamstring in the same game.

Cifuentes said strikers Michael Frey and Rayan Kolli had both been back training with the first team this week.
