Championship promotion rivals QPR and Cardiff clash at Loftus Road on Saturday.
Agyemang back in contention, Chopra set for second debut
Championship promotion rivals Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff clash at Loftus Road on Saturday.
Both sides have made strong starts to the season and are well on track for at least a place in the play-offs at the end of term.
Cardiff enjoy the slight advantage as they prepare for their trip to London sat in the top six, but QPR are only one place below and will hope to close the gap on their weekend opponents.
Patrick Agyemang is back in contention for QPR after being sidelined for the last couple of weeks with a pelvic strain.
Suspension
The striker came through 90 minutes of a reserve game on Wednesday unscathed and could make the bench at Loftus Road.
Rangers are still without midfielder Mikele Leigertwood, who sits out the second game of his four-match ban following his red card against Birmingham.
Forward Rowan Vine is continuing his rehabilitation from last season's broken leg, and midfielder Adam Bolder has joined Millwall on loan.
Caretaker boss Gareth Ainsworth has an otherwise full squad to choose from, and could opt to make changes with Tuesday's Carling Cup trip to Manchester United in mind.
Chopra debut
On-loan Michael Chopra will make his second debut for Cardiff after the Sunderland marksman, who moved to the Stadium of Light from Ninian Park in July last year, signed a two-month deal with the Bluebirds.
He will be thrown straight into Dave Jones' starting XI and his inclusion comes after fellow strikers Ross McCormack and Jay Bothroyd (both hamstring) were ruled out for between three to four weeks and six to eight weeks respectively.
However, Mark Kennedy is likely to miss out again along with fellow midfielders Riccardo Scimeca (groin) and Tony Capaldi (knee).
With Cardiff's lengthy list of injury problems, striker Jonathan Brown and defender Darren Dennehy could both be among the substitutes.
Peter Whittingham could also continue in midfield after starting last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Wolves.
