Stoke City prepare to entertain Queens Park Rangers at Britannia Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 5 of the 11 previous games, with the Potters winning just 4.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Britannia Stadium was just last season, in October 2004, with Q.P.R. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Potters in a Championship match.
