Loftus Road provides the floodlit setting for the conclusion to Gameweek 6 as Mark Hughes’ QPR host West Ham. We’ve opened up the Dugout Discussion chatroom to catch the items that drop from the messy minds of Fantasy managers while the action unfolds.
The team news from tonight’s game is somewhat significant. There were mixed messages on the likely return of Andy Carroll to the Hammers lineup but, when the dust settled the big Geordie only makes the bench after his recent hamstring twang. He will loom large in reserve tonight, then. Sam Allardyce does make one change, however, bringing in Matt Jarvis for the unfortunate Matt Taylor on the left flank: Taylor is apparently carrying a knock. As for the hosts, they give a start to Djibril Cisse with Junior Hoilett the man to make way. Stephane Mbia is given a first Premier League start, in for the injured Jose Bosingwa.
QPR Starting XI: Cesar, Onuoha, Nelsen, Mbia, Hill, Park, Wright-Phillips, Granero, Faurlin, Zamora, Cisse.
West Ham Starting XI: Jaaskelainen, Demel, Collins, Reid, O’Brien, Noble, Diame, Nolan, Vaz Te, Jarvis, Cole.
