QPR v Stoke City (14:30 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesNot many pundits might have put these two among the pack chasing down the top two at this stage of the season.
Hosts QPR can go third with a win today and enter this one in good form, unbeaten in their past six and having won three in a row.
Stoke have stuttered somewhat in recent weeks with back-to-back defeats but had won three in a row themselves before that set-back.
The Potters have also failed to find the back of the net in those last two fixtures, so will be looking to end that drought.
