Preview: Derby County vs. Queens Park Rangers

Sports Mole previews the Championship clash between Derby County and Queens Park Rangers.

Derby County host Queens Park Rangers in the Championship on Monday evening, with both teams looking to maintain their respective promotion challenge.

The Rams were held to a 3-3 draw by Birmingham City last weekend, as they stretched their unbeaten run to four games.

Their good form has seen them climb to fourth in the table, and they are just four points away from their opponents, who are in third spot.

QPR also shared a six-goal thriller last weekend, as they came from behind to claim a 3-3 draw with Burnley.

They have gone six games without defeat and will be keen to move back into second place following Burnley's 3-1 win against Millwall on Saturday.

Derby are without long-term absentees Shaun Barker and Paul Coutts, while QPR winger Matt Phillips could be out for the season after picking up a leg injury last weekend.

The visitors have a number of players on the sidelines, with Danny Simpson, Charlie Austin, and Yossi Benayoun all ruled out.
