Preston North End v Queens Park Rangers team news: Liverpool and Everton loanees Sepp van den Berg and Anthony Gordon come into the PNE starting XI

Their inclusion came as Neil made four changes to the side which lost 4-0 at Cardiff City.

Brad Potts and Scott Sinclair also returned to the side, with Daniel Johnson, Jayson Molumby, Emil Riis and the injured Liam Lindsay dropping out.

Gordon had impressed as a substitute in the last half hour at Cardiff, with him deserving of a start.

The inclusion of van den Berg would potentially release Alan Browne back into midfield after a stint at right-back.

On the bench there was a seat for youth-team striker Joe Rodwell-Grant, while Tom Bayliss also got a recall among the substitutes.

PNE: Iversen, van den Berg, Storey, Hughes, Cunningham, Browne, Whiteman, Sinclair, Potts, Gordon, Evans. Subs: Bayliss, Johnson, Rafferty, Riis, Molumby, Huntington, Barkhuizen, Rodwell-Grant, Ripley.

QPR: Dieng, Dickie, Cameron, Barbet, Kane, Ball, Johansen, Wallace, Chair, Dykes, Austin. Subs: Bonne, Field, Willock, Kakay, Hamalainen, Kelman, Adomah, Lumley.

Referee: Darren England (Barnsley)
