    Fulham 1-0 QPR

    Better from QPR.

    They win a couple of corners but the second one is broken up as they look to play it short and Fulham nearly get in.

    However, Harrison Reed's pass out to Harry Wilson hits Aleksandar Mitrovic and it breaks down.

    Fulham 1-0 QPR

    Fulham are looking very dangerous here and the visitors are struggling to get out at all.

    Marco Silva will be very happy with what he has seen from his charges so far.

    Fulham 1-0 QPR

    How has that not gone in?!

    Aleksandar Mitrovic is free inside the six-yard box from a corner (somehow) and his header is blocked by QPR goalkeeper Seny Dieng (somehow) before the visitors manage to just about scramble the ball away.

    Fulham 1-0 QPR

    QPR look to get their foot on the ball a bit.

    Striker Charlie Austin has hardly had a touch thus far but he shows his class to roll Tim Ream 30 yars from goal and tries his luck from range.

    It's a mile over but a warning shot of what he's capable of certainly.

    Fulham 1-0 QPR

    Fulham were already the league's leading scorers before that excellent Aleksandar Mitrovic goal.

    They're up to 24 goals for the season and, on how this game has gone so far, I'd back them to add to that tally before the match is over.

    GOAL: Fulham 1-0 QPRpublished at 10 mins

    Aleksandar Mitrovic

    Oh, what a lovely goal this is!

    An attack down the Fulham right ends with Denis Odoi swinging over a ball that Aleksandar Mitrovic brings down on his chest and thumps into the bottom corner.

    That's 13 goals for club and country for the Serbian so far this campaign.

    That one was a real beaut.

    Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is down after getting caught in a tangle winth R's defender Jordy De Wijs.

    Looks like he'll be ok to continue.

    The hosts would not want to lose their in-form number nine.

    Fulham 0-0 QPR

    The hosts win an early corner after some nice passing down their left.

    It's headed away but the home team keep the pressure on.

    Bright start from them.

    We're under way at Craven Cottage.

    Can the home side get back to winning ways or will the R's claim a first win over the Whites since 2012?

    Fulham v QPR (12:30 BST)

    It's been a positive start to the season for these two west London rivals.

    Marco Silva's Fulham are looking for an immediate return back to the Premier League (again) and a win today would send them up to third.

    Mark Warburton's R's have picked up where they left off after a strong end to 2020-21 and will be hoping for a first win over the Whites since December 2012.

    After the action at Craven Cottage comes to an end we'll be turning our attention to nine Championship games, 11 League One matches and the full complement of 12 League Two games.

    Let's get to it.
