    QPR vs Aston Villa preview: Championship clash live on Sky Sports Football

    Watch live on Sky Sports Football from 7pm on Friday.

    Queens Park Rangers v Aston Villa

    Nahki Wells will hope he has earned a starting place as QPR seek a third straight win in Friday night's clash with Aston Villa.

    Wells scored his first Hoops goal in Tuesday's victory over Sheffield Wednesday as a substitute for fellow goalscorer Tomer Hemed.

    The veteran provides manager Steve McClaren with an option to freshen up his side for their third game in seven days. Josh Scowen and Jordan Cousins could come into the midfield but McClaren may equally opt to stick with a winning side.

    Yannick Bolasie returns for Villa after being left out against Norwich. Albert Adomah sustained a knee injury in that contest and is unavailable for Friday's trip to Loftus Road, creating the opportunity for on-loan Everton winger Bolasie.

    Tammy Abraham took a kick in the head at Norwich but is set to be fit for selection on Friday. Midfielder John McGinn is also available after serving a one-game suspension against the Canaries.

    Prutton's prediction

    QPR have quietly hit a bit of form and are starting to look up rather than down under Steve McClaren. Tomer Hemed and Nahki Wells both scored in midweek and they are starting to have a really big impact at Loftus Road.

    Dean Smith will want to bounce back as quickly as possible following that defeat at Norwich as they are slipping further away from the top six with every bad result. I just think QPR have got their tails up and they will edge this one.

    David Prutton predicts: 2-1 (9/1 with Sky Bet)
