    QPR's away form has been dreadful - but then again Everton's home form has not been so clever of late.

    Usually reliably solid at Goodison, Roberto Martinez's side have won just two of the last eight home games in the top flight.

    Too predictable? Too nice to play against? Or just unlucky?

    We shall see.

  3. Away day bluespublished at 18:51 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    Charlie Austin's eight Premier League goals so far for QPR have kept Harry Redknapp's side in with a chance of fighting the drop.

    But without him tonight, Redknapp must find a way of bringing their horrible away record to an end. QPR have lost all seven games on the road this season, scoring just twice.

    Can Bobby Zamora and co rally round to end the drought?

  4. Who's in for Austin?published at 18:50 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    We should have confirmed team news for you shortly.

    But without Charlie Austin (14 games, eight goals) who can QPR turn to up front?

    Bobby Zamora has no goals in 12 appearances in the Premier League this season, Eduardo Vargas has two in 10 and, er, that's about it.

    Shaun Wright-Phillips?

    Three strikers in the squad? Guess where Harry will be shopping next month...

  5. The banned brickiepublished at 18:42 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2014

    It is not a well-trodden path.

    Brick wall

    From the Hellenic League (Division One, East) with Kintbury Rangers to the Premier League with Queens Park Rangers, Charlie Austin's tale is straight out of a comic book.

    Released from Reading for being too small, he worked as a brickie in non league, scoring headers as regularly as laying them.

    Moves to Swindon and Burnley soon followed, and now only Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa and Alexis Sanchez have scored more Premier League goals than he has.

    He's scored 50% of QPR's goals this season. But he is suspended at Everton tonight. How do Rangers replace the barnstorming bricklayer?
