Match preview

Two of the Championship's last three unbeaten records will be on the line when Bournemouth and QPR lock horns at the Vitality Stadium and neither side look likely to take a backward step.

Bournemouth are probably under greater pressure to push for three points but QPR are not the sort of team to settle for a stalemate and there is obvious potential for goals at both ends.

There were a few concerns that Bournemouth might struggle to replace exciting attacker Arnaut Danjuma, who swapped life in the Championship for a Champions League campaign with Villarreal.

And Bournemouth's attacking options have been further depleted by ongoing injury problems for Junior Stanislas, who has started just one of six league games.

However, the Cherries have scored 11 goals, including four for centre-forward Dominic Solanke, who will be aiming to better last season's 15-goal contribution.

Solanke was on target in Saturday's 3-0 success at home to Barnsley but the star of the show was left-back Jordan Zemura, who popped up with two well taken goals.

Bournemouth boss Scott Parker encourages his players to express themselves but there are risks attached to an attacking approach and they could be exposed by QPR, who are the division's top scorers.

QPR manager Mark Warburton is spoilt for choice in attack with Ilias Chair, Chris Willock, Lyndon Dykes, Charlie Austin and Andre Gray competing for places.

His team recovered from a two-goal deficit to draw 3-3 at Reading on Saturday and they could be involved in another thriller on the south coast.
