Queens Park Rangers host promotion hopefuls West Bromwich Albion in the Sky Bet Championship on Wednesday evening.

QPR head into the game having stunned league leaders Leicester City at the weekend, while West Brom enter on the back of a home win over Coventry.

How to Watch QPR vs West Brom in the UK:

UK viewers can watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event with coverage set to begin at 7:30pm. Kick-off is set for 8pm.

Recent Form:

QPR continued their impressive form with a shock 2-1 away victory over table-toppers Leicester on Saturday. Goals from Ilias Chair and Sinclair Armstrong secured the side's third consecutive victory in the Championship. The result leaves QPR's record at five wins in their last eight league matches but the Hoops remain just three points above the relegation zone after 35 games in 19th place.

West Brom meanwhile maintain hope of a Premier League return as they sit in fifth position after 35 matches. Carlos Corberan's side ousted Coventry City with a 2-1 home win on Friday thanks to goals from Michael Johnston and Grady Diangana. The result leaves the Midlanders on 59 points, three above Hull City in sixth and four above seventh-placed Norwich City.

An automatic play-off spot looks highly unlikely given that they remain 16 points off Ipswich Town in second, but a return to English football's top-flight remains a strong possibility. The Baggies haven't played Premier League football since they were relegated in 2021.
