Some odd stats there. So where does this leave us for tonight's game. Lets hope we can keep this run going but most of all keep a good display going. We have momentum, confidence and belief. Villa are trying to find theirs. Lets hope we don't give them a helping hand.

Yesssss unchanged. Lets keep this going Rangers

David Prutton returns with his Sky Bet EFL predictions ahead of the weekend fixtures, but who is he tipping for victory? QPR v Aston Villa, Fri 7.45pm - Live on Sky Sports Football

QPR have quietly hit a bit of form and are starting to look up rather than down under Steve McClaren. Tomer Hemed and Nahki Wells both scored in midweek and they are starting to have a really big impact at Loftus Road.

Dean Smith will want to bounce back as quickly as possible following that defeat at Norwich as they are slipping further away from the top six with every bad result. I just think QPR have got their tails up and they will edge this one.

Prutton predicts: 2-1 ()

Looking at that Villa bench, it’s ridiculous they’re not storming the league.
