Queens Park Rangers have handed a start to top goalscorer Charlie Austin for this afternoon's Championship showdown with relegation-threatened Millwall.

Manager Harry Redknapp was expected to rest the striker, who had been suffering with a hamstring problem, to ensure that he is fit for the playoffs.

Fellow forward Andy Johnson is still recovering from an ankle injury, while Benoit Assou-Ekotto has been left out of the squad despite returning from suspension.

Meanwhile, Millwall welcome back Owen Garvan to their first XI following a brief spell on the sidelines, but Richard Chaplow and Ed Upson were both declared unfit.

QPR: Green, Simpson, Hill, Carroll, Onuoha, Dunne, Benayoun, Barton, Austin, Morrison, Kranjcar

Millwall: Forde, Edwards, Malone, Williams, Dunne, Beevers, Martin, Bailey, Maierhofer, Garvan, Woolford
