Liberty Stadium, Wales
TEAM NEWS
Left-back Neil Taylor is Swansea's just major fitness doubt for Tuesday's match. The Wales international suffered a knee injury in the 1-0 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park, but a scan has revealed there is no ligament damage and he still has a chance of featuring against Neil Warnock's side. Winger Nathan Dyer is also set to be available, after missing out with a foot problem against the Toffees.
QPR will again be without Anton Ferdinand. The 26-year-old defender returned to light training on Friday after a hamstring injury, but manager Neil Warnock does not expect he will back until the game with Norwich on January 2. Shaun Wright-Phillips went for a precautionary scan on a knee complaint on Friday, while fellow midfielder Kieron Dyer is out for the time after undergoing foot surgery.
Swansea midfielder Joe Allen heads into Tuesday's Liberty Stadium meeting with QPR desperate to gain revenge for the hiding the Welsh side suffered against the Londoners this time last year.
Both sides were chasing promotion from the Championship when they met at Loftus Road on Boxing Day, but it proved to be a miserable day for the Welsh club as they suffered a resounding 4-0 defeat.
But with Rangers having sealed the Championship title and the Swans claiming play-off glory, Allen and his team-mates will obtain the chance to make amends as they look to continue an excellent home record that has seen them defeated just once on their own turf.
