Mark Hughes's first home match in charge of Queens Park Rangers will come on Tuesday evening when MK Dons visit Loftus Road in a round three FA Cup replay.
The visiting Dons will feel aggrieved to be playing this fixture, have led for a long time in the first match at Stadium MK, only for Heidar Helguson to score a stoppage-time equaliser for QPR.
Hughes will have to make do without the services of captain Joey Barton, who is serving the final game of his three-match suspension. Fellow central-midfielder Alejandro Faurlin will also be absent with a knee injury.
Dons boss Karl Robinson has a near fully-fit squad to call upon, which means Dean Bowditch is likely to continue up front.
The winner of this tie will host Chelsea.
Current form:
QPR: LLDLLL
MK Dons: WLWDWD
Possible lineups:
QPR: Kenny; Young, Ferdinand, Hill, Traore; Wright-Phillips, Derry, Taarabt, Mackie; Helguson, Campbell.
MK Dons: Martin; Smith, Kouo-Doumbe, Williams, Lewington; Potter, Gleeson; Powell, Chadwick, Bowditch; Ibehre.
Sports Mole says: 2-0
