WHO TO WATCH Asmir Begovic Arriving on a free transfer from Everton in the summer, goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has had a decorated career since arriving in English football. With a youth career that spanned his native Bosnia and Herzegovina before spells in Germany and Canada, his senior career began with Portsmouth on the south coast. Going on to play for Stoke City, Chelsea, AFC Bournemouth, Qarabag, AC Milan and Everton before arriving at Loftus Road, the six foot six inch tall stopper is far from hanging up his gloves at 36-years-old. Playing each minute of their Sky Bet Championship season so far, Begovic has received positive reviews for his performances despite Rangers’ high number of goals conceded, also wearing the captain’s armband for the club this season. Kenneth Paal Dutch-Surinamese left-back Kenneth Paal joined QPR from PEC Zwolle in 2022, where he was teammates with Town and Japan defender Yuta Nakayama.

Previous Starting XI: Begovic; Larkeche, Duane, Clarke-Salter, Paal; Duke-McKenna, Colback, Dozzell; Chair; Dykes, Armstrong (4-3-1-2) FORMATION Despite changing formation six times in their 11 games so far this season, QPR either play a variation of 3-4-3 or 4-4-2, with only one exception to that rule when they lined up in a 4-2-3-1 against Cardiff City in their second game of the season. With an emphasis in either of those systems on wing play and pushing their width high up the field, that has left them more open at the back, with their eight goals scored across the season undone by the 20 goals they’ve currently conceded. Town have operated in with a defensive three since Darren Moore was introduced as Manager, so Queens Park Rangers could decide to go like-for-like and match that shape in HD1.

Currently three places and three points behind Town in the Sky Bet Championship table having taken eight points from their opening 11 games, a victory at the John Smith’s Stadium would bring them level on points with the Terriers. THEIR MANAGER 50-year-old Gareth Ainsworth left behind over a decade of memories at Wycombe Wanderers to take over at Loftus Road, rejoining a club that he spent seven years with as a player and had twice acted as caretaker manager, with supporters holding him in high regard. Broadly successful over his 550 game spell with the Chairboys, his time back at QPR has seen him achieve his goal of keeping the team in the Sky Bet Championship last season, but five wins in his 25 games at the helm so far is below what he likely desires.
Having initially played for the Netherlands at U17 level, Paal has gone on to commit for Suriname internationally. Currently top scorer for his side, Paal is a danger down the left side having been licence to get forward at will, leading to the three goals he has to his name in the league so far. Somebody to be wary of on the break, Town will need to remain disciplined out wide to limit his involvement.
Huddersfield Town vs Queens Park Rangers on 21 Oct 23 - Match CentreA look ahead to our return to Sky Bet Championship action against QPR - Huddersfield Town vs Queens Park Rangers- Saturday 21 October, 3pm; John Smith’s Stadium- Comprehensive look ahead to our visitors to HD1 Town have a strong record against Queens Park Rangers heading into the weekend, having lost just once in our last 11 encounters with the West London side. The first ever fixture between the sides was on 23 January 1932 in the FA Cup, with a league meeting not occurring until 1967 - by which they had already faced off three times in the world’s oldest domestic football cup competition. Historically across 41 fixtures, both sides have enjoyed similar success, with Town just ahead with 16 victories to QPR’s 14, drawing 11 times.
Meeting for the 42nd time on Saturday 21 October at the John Smith’s Stadium, the sides drew 1-1 in HD1 in the 2022/23 season. Jamaal Lowe opened the scoring for the visitors, with Martyn Waghorn equalising for the Terriers in the second half. Looking to extend our unbeaten run at home to four after two draws and a win heading into this fixture, both of QPR’s wins this season have come away from home so far. THE OPPOSITION Undergoing much change in the summer in Gareth Ainsworth’s first transfer window in charge after taking over in February 2023, Rangers allowed 30 players to leave the club with nine arriving in W12 as the squad was reshaped. Queens Park Rangers are now six games without victory going into the October international break, having last gained three points away at the Riverside against Middlesbrough on Saturday 2 September.
