The big question is will Anton Ferdinand shake hands with John Terry, we all remember when Wayne Bridge failed to do so with JT but that was a different situation.
Terry is expected to start and after AVB said Ferdinand shoud shake JT’s hand you have to think he will be in the starting 11, but Frank Lampard is injured, having torn his calf against Norwich.
QPR have various injury problem, with Akos Buzsaky, Danny Gabbidon, Matthew Connolly, Jay Bothroyd and DJ Campbell all likely to miss out.
