QPR can include defender Clint Hill as their appeal against his recent red card against Swansea was successful.
Boss Neil Warnock must again choose between Heidar Helguson and Rob Hulse for a place up front.
MATCH PREVIEW
Queens Park Rangers enter 2011 seven points clear at the top of the Championship and with history on their side. The team top of the table at the start of January has gone on to win promotion in all but two of the last 19 years.
But QPR fans could be forgiven for not daring to believe just yet. After all, the younger generation have known little but problems on and off the pitch, and older supporters saw Rangers pipped at the post for the league championship in 1976 and crash out of the Uefa Cup eight years later after squandering a four-goal lead.
No chickens are being counted at Loftus Road. But the R's are on course for a return to the Premier League after a 15-year absence and a first promotion to the top flight since 1983 when, incidentally, they started the new year in second place behind Wolves and went on to win the title by 10 points.
But Norwich City's current form is also excellent. The Canaries, who are fifth, have won four of their last five matches, and scored four goals in two of them: against Sheffield United and arch rivals Ipswich.
