QPR may hand a debut to record signing Chris Samba after securing the signature of the former Blackburn man from Anzhi Makhachkala on transfer deadline day.
The game may come too soon for loan signing Jermaine Jenas whilst Jamie Mackie (back), Shaun Wright-Phillips (ankle), Junior Hoilett (hamstring) and Andrew Johnson (knee) remain absent.
Norwich may opt for the same starting XI which played so well in holding high-flying Tottenham to a draw at Carrow Road in midweek.
Luciano Becchio has signed from Leeds but Chris Hughton may opt to start the Argentine from the bench, with John Ruddy Norwich's only injury absentee with a long-term thigh problem.

The France international scored on his debut for the Rs at West Ham a fortnight ago and already looks accustomed to the Premier League. The fee and wages dished out by the Rs in securing his services may have raised eyebrows, but should he continue to find the net and help the London club escape from relegation, then it will inarguably represent money well spent.

The former Leeds wideman has been an unsung hero of this season's Premier League campaign and will prove vital if the Canaries are to emerge from their current poor form. The Scot has been a potent source of ammunition from either foot recently and should link up well former team-mate Luciano Becchio.
There appears to be a sense of momentum around the Rs at the moment, with their unbeaten league run allied to the club's record-breaking transfer business. Norwich have been in poor form recently and with the home crowd behind them, Harry Redknapp's men will be confident of securing a vital three points.
