Good afternoon!
We're live from Deepdale as QPR look to put an end to a torrid run of away form.
The record stretches to 16 games without a win on the road, and Ian Holloway will be hoping his side can finally knock that chip off their shoulder.
Preston look set to pose a physical test, and are looking strong in 13th position in the Championship, just four points above the Hoops.
Ollie will be without creative linchpin Lee Freeman for today's test, so he'll be hoping for someone to come in and stake a claim for a starting jersey.
We'll have all the build-up, team news, updates and analysis as the game unfolds; just make sure you stay tuned until the very end!
