Wolves v QPR
Wolves defender Gary Breen should recover from the dead leg that forced him out of the defeat to Birmingham. Jamie Clapham would give way if Breen is fit, while Mark Little is available after serving a one-match suspension. Veteran Paul Jones and youngster Jake Cole are vying for the QPR keeper's jersey following Lee Camp's recall from loan by Derby. Marc Bircham (back injury) returned to reserve-team action for the first time since January, but will not feature.

Wolves 2-0 QPR
Second-half goals from Andrew Keogh and Michael Kightly were enough for Wolves to see off plucky QPR and maintain a Championship play-off position. After wasting a series of gilt-edged chances Wolves finally scored 12 minutes after the break when Keogh tucked in the rebound from his header. The hosts doubled their advantage just a minute later when Kightly coolly converted Jay Bothroyd's cross. Wolves now need to win at Leicester to ensure they make the play-offs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wolves boss Mick McCarthy on the prospect of playing WBA in the play-offs: "We would take that now. "I'm sure they would too. They think they can beat us." And he added of the scrappy 1-0 win over QPR: "Nobody said it was going to be easy. It was a Championship game - a bit messy. "If we have to grind out 1-0 victories we will do it." QPR manager John Gregory: "The club has had a tired look about it. We need to change some faces. We will do that this week." "We didn't see the best of Wolverhampton Wanderers today - they were outstanding last week. "In Keogh they have one of the signings of the season. We looked at him but could not compete financially." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wolverhampton: Murray, McNamara, Breen, Craddock, Potter, Kightly (Gleeson 83), Olofinjana, Neill Collins, McIndoe, Bothroyd (Ward 79), Keogh (Little 90).
