Queens Park Rangers

Tariq Lamptey is a fresh injury concern for QPR after sustaining an ankle problem during last Friday's draw at West Ham. Boy Kemper, by contrast, was withdrawn early in that game to preserve his availability for Wednesday's visit of Derby County.

Ilias Chair and Karamoko Dembele remain unavailable with muscle and knee injuries respectively. Rumarn Burrell, who started three of QPR's last five league games, is also missing because he is not registered for this competition. Pierce Charles has started each of QPR's last five matches in goal. The side have drawn four of their last five league games and sit sixth in the table on 14 points.

Derby County

Derby have a fresh absence after Max Johnston sustained a knee knock in training and was expected to be out for around two weeks. Charlie Taylor continues to be unavailable with a separate injury, while Joe Ward has made three starts at right-back, compared with one each for Dion Sanderson and Ryan Nyambe.

Jacob Widell Zetterström's knee injury has kept him out of goal, and Josh Vickers has started the last two matches there. Patrick Agyemang is doubtful because of an ankle problem, while Craig Forsyth, Derry Murkin and Matt Clarke remain sidelined by their own injuries.
