QPR Team News
QPR has a mixed start to the season with defeat and victory after two rounds. They suffered a defeat against Watford with 0-4 but in the next round, they beat Cardiff with 2-1.
This will be a very tough season for QPR. On paper, they are one of the candidates for relegation from the Championship. Their team is much weaker than last season and Gareth Ainsworth will have a tough job to keep them in the league.
Last season QPR barely stayed in the league. They finished in 20th place with 50 points, only six points above the relegation zone. An interesting fact is that they were 1st in the table in October and dropped into a relegation battle.
In the League Cup QPR only once made it through the third Round in the last 15 years. It was in the 2021/22 season when they qualified for the 4th round where they were defeated by Sunderland.

Norwich Team News
The expectations from Norwich this season are unknown. On paper, they have a team for a mid-table, but a playoff hunt is possible.
They started the season with a win and an entertaining draw against Southampton. They led three times and conceded a goal in the 97th minute.
David Wagner signed a couple of experienced players and the Canaries have one of the oldest squads in the league.
Last season they were 13th in the table and one of the problems where they result at Carrow Road. They suffered more defeats (10) than wins (8) at home.
In the previous four seasons they always made it through the first round, but not even once did they make it beyond 3rd round.
