QPR are ready to start with the same eleven players at Manchester United this evening that started against Cardiff 1-0 on Saturday.

It means that goalscorer against the Bluebirds, Gavin Mahon, is set to return to the bench, while Damiano Tommasi will stride out on to the Old Trafford pitch instead.

There is also no place for Irish international Damien Delaney at left-back, with his spot taken by Matt Connolly.

United are likely to drop several of their household names for the tie as more than 2,000 west Londoners make the trip north in the hope of an upset.
