Crystal Palace face a trip to Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Eagles will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a Championship match.
