Preston North End are yet to pick up a point since their return from the international break, having been trumped by Cardiff and soundly dispatched by Middlesbrough.

Still, a return to winning ways against QPR at home tonight would lift them back into the play-off places.

So the hosts have plenty of incentive to start December and bring on the weekend with a win.

Tonight's Championship clash is not all we are bringing you on the BBC Sport website.

Meanwhile, England are also hosting the Netherlands in the Women's Nations League. You can follow that match here.

I'm going to get in early with the weather chat.

It's cold... like really cold at Deepdale right now with temperatures already below freezing.

And it will only get colder as the game goes on.

Let's hope the football is the sort that warms the body and soul, eh?

Hello and welcome to another evening of EFL action this week.

It's a third night of Championship football in the past five - and kickstarts three more successive days of matches from the second tier this weekend.

Like one chap once said: "It's all the football all the time."

And it'll be a heck of a cold one under lights at Deepdale as Preston North End host Queens Park Rangers.
