Queens Park Rangers host Everton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, with both sides keen to get back on track following a disappointing weekend.
Mark Warburton's Super Hoops have made a good start to life in the Championship this season, but they have suffered back-to-back defeats in their last two outings against Bristol City and Bournemouth.
Meanwhile, Rafael Benitez has enjoyed an excellent start to his time as Toffees manager in the Premier League, but that came to a crashing end on Saturday night as they were beaten comprehensively by Aston Villa.
Everton have won the last four meetings and QPR haven't defeated Everton in London since 1996, however, tonight will be their greatest opportunity to buck that trend.
Queens Park Rangers team news Sam Field and Lee Wallace are Warburton's only injury concerns for the welcome of Everton.
Moses Odubajo and Charlie Austin were fit enough to feature for the R's against Bristol City and should play some part here.
Everton team news Benitez, meanwhile, has six confirmed absentees for the trip to Loftus Road.
Fabian Delph, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison, Jordan Pickford, Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Seamus Coleman are all sidelined, meanwhile, James Rodriguez is reportedly in Qatar working on a move away.

Anthony Gordon makes his first Everton start since January and Mason Holgate returns to the middle of defence, as manager Rafa Benitez makes five changes for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie at QPR.
Andre Gomes and Tom Davies come into Everton’s midfield and there is a start at right-back for Jonjoe Kenny.
Asmir Begovic, then, begins his second straight match in goal, with Holgate partnered by Ben Godfrey at centre-half.
Lucas Digne captains Everton from his customary left-back berth and Kenny starts for the second time this term following an appearance against Huddersfield Town in round two.
Davies and Gomes are flanked by Gordon – who was last part of an Everton starting XI for the FA Cup meeting with Rotherham United nine months ago – and Andros Townsend, who contributed the winning goal at Huddersfield.
Alex Iwobi, the other scorer against Huddersfield, will support Salomon Rondon in attack.
Demarai Gray, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Allan and Michael Keane are included among Everton’s substitutes.
They are joined on the bench by Ellis Simms, Jarrad Branthwaite and goalkeeper Andy Lonergan.
