da dobrowin： QPR welcome Reading to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Tuesday evening, where the R’s have a tremendous chance to continue their fine form.
Mark Warburton’s side are sitting pretty in 5th place, and are just three points off the top of the table – the former Brentford boss has done a superb job at the helm so far.
On the contrary, the Royals have endured a miserable campaign and find themselves 20th – they have lost seven of their 12 games this season.
Their form cost Jose Gomes his job, before Sporting Director Mark Bowen was then appointed as his replacement – the trip to London will be the new man’s second game in charge.
Given their opponents’ dismal form, QPR may be feeling optimistic about this game, although here are two Reading players they cannot afford to be complacent around…
John Swift
The Royals No.10 has been a rare glimmer of light for the club this season in an otherwise disappointing campaign.
Swift has scored two goals and registered four assists in 11 Championship appearances this season – another set-up in the Carabao Cup included a sensational ‘rabona’ cross for Lucas Boyle against Wolves.
Impressively, the 24-year-old averages 3.5 key passes per game, while also completing 1.5 dribbles and 1.7 shots per game in the league this term – the R’s must watch out for the attacking midfielder.
Ovie EjariaÂ
The former Liverpool man has scored two goals in 10 league appearances this term, proving to be a tricky customer in the final third of the pitch.
Ejaria, 21, loves a dribble having completed 3.3 per game on average this season, while also taking 1.9 shots per game.
The youngster also draws 1.2 fouls per game, suggesting that he could be a player who the R’s struggle to contain on Tuesday night.
QPR are still yet to keep a Championship clean sheet in 2019/20 – the only team in the league not to record a shutout – so their backline must be especially wary of these two Reading danger men.
