Swansea have been the sharper side lately. They've won five of their last eight league games, with the only defeat coming away at Southampton. Wins over Burnley, Watford, Derby and Stoke show they can score goals as well as defend well.

Swansea go into this with far more consistent results behind them than QPR.

Comparative Team Statistics: QPR vs Swansea

Head-to-head record

The last two meetings at QPR's ground have both gone Swansea's way, including a 2-1 win back in April this year. QPR did win the reverse fixture at Swansea last October, so it's not one-sided across venues.

Further back, several of these games have finished level, including two 1-1 draws in previous seasons. It's generally been a competitive fixture rather than a one-way one.

Recent visits to QPR have tended to suit Swansea more than QPR themselves.

Where they sit in the table

Swansea are top of the Championship with 17 points from eight games, five wins, two draws and just one loss. They've scored 13 and conceded only six, which points to a well-balanced side so far this season.

QPR sit sixth with 13 points from the same number of matches, three wins, four draws and one loss. Their goal difference is far tighter, ten scored against seven conceded, which fits a side that keeps drawing games rather than winning or losing them clearly.

Players and cards to note

Armstrong Idah has been Swansea's main source of goals, with three in eight appearances, and Eom Ji-Sung has chipped in with two assists in six games. F. Lissah has picked up four yellow cards in eight matches for Swansea, suggesting some of these games have been fairly physical.

On QPR's side, J. Clarke-Salter has also collected four yellows in seven appearances, while Daniel Cirkin has already picked up a red card this season. None of that confirms who's available for this specific game, but it gives a sense of the disciplinary pattern in these two squads.
