Stoke City are one point clear of the Championship relegation zone as they prepare to host QPR on Saturday (15:00 GMT)
QPR have not won an away league game since a 2-1 victory at Hull City on 21 January.
Stoke City have won just one of their past 11 league games against sides from London (D4 L6), failing to score in seven of those matches.
QPR have lost just two of their past six away league games against Stoke City (W3 D1), though one of those defeats came last season at the bet365 Stadium (1-0).
