QPR Team News

Rob Green is likely to deputise for first choice QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar. Arman Traore is hoping to shrug off the knock he limped off with against Arsenal. Chris Samba is also sidelined with a knee injury, while Stephane Mbia’s inclusion is in doubt after his Tweeting storm with Joey Barton.

Newcastle Team News

Newcastle will still not have full-backs Davide Santon and Massadio Haidara (both hamstring) available and have also learned neither Moussa Sissoko (knee) nor Shola Ameobi will play until next season. Sylvain Marveaux and Davide Santon could return.

Odds: H12/5; A13/10; D12/5
It’s a fact: During Jermaine Jenas’ three-and-a-half year spell at St James’ Park he was crowned PFA Young Player of the Year in 2003 under Sir Bobby Robson’s management.
Referee: Lee Probert (Bristol)
Comment by Paul Fraser:  QPR might have a desire to end a miserable season on a high, but Newcastle should have enough about them to find the net and claim the necessary points.1-2
