Eberechi Eze stars for Crystal Palace against his former club Queen's Park Rangers in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

QPR brace themselves for a big game at home to Premier League opposition Crystal Palace with a place in the League Cup fourth round at stake.

Palace boss Glasner stuck with his trusted 3-4-2-1 formation, recalling Chris Richards on the left side of the back three, with summer signing Daichi Kamada playing in midfield alongside Jefferson Lerma. Eddie Nketiah continued in a deeper ‘number 10’ role, and though not a familiar role, the former Arsenal striker looked sharp.

While QPR remain unbeaten in their last six matches, they have been plagued by a series of draws, notching up four stalemates during this period. Defensive frailties have been evident, as they have yet to secure a clean sheet across all competitions this season.

The last time QPR faced Crystal Palace in a competitive match was a 3-1 Premier League defeat nine years ago. Crystal Palace visit QPR in competitive action for the first time since 2015 this evening as Carabao Cup action comes calling to Loftus Road.
