Queens Park Rangers are without Esteban Granero for the visit of Ipswich Town to Loftus Road in the Championship as the midfielder joined Real Sociedad on loan.

The hosts leave out Armand Traore, Alejandro Faurlin and striker Andy Johnson because of injury, but new signing Charlie Austin partners Bobby Zamora in attack.

Former West Ham United midfielder Gary O'Neil is selected as a substitute for the R's.

Fresh from a 3-0 win at home to Millwall, Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy retains Jay Tabb and Aaron Cresswell in the starting XI.

The Tractor Boys will look to improve on a retched away record during 2013, having won only once on their travels.

Queens Park Rangers: Green; Simpson, Onuoha, Dunne, Hill, Barton, Henry, Wright-Phillips, Hoilett, Zamora, Austin

Ipswich Town: Loach, Hewitt, Chambers, Smith, Cresswell, Edwards, Skuse, Hyam, Tabb, McGoldrick, Murphy
