Table topping Birmingham travel to managerless Queens Park Rangers tonight in great form with 10 points from their last 12. Unbeaten on their travels will mean the blues will provide a tough test for the home side.However a 0-0 draw at Reading on Saturday night will mean the Londoners will also be hard to break down and will be full of confidence under caretaker manager Gareth Ainsworth, who has urged Rangers fans to come out in their numbers for the clash.
"Theres nothing i'd like more than to see a packed Loftus Road for the visit of arguably on of the best teams in this division," said Ainsworth.
The caretaker manager went on to express how, "the atmosphere the fans can generate at an evening kick off at Loftus Road is immeasurable, it can arguably be the difference between success and failure."
No doubt the home side will fancy their chances tonight at Loftus Road, but for Blues, the players need to step up to the plate and grind out yet another result away from St Andrews if they are to be potential automatic promotion contenders.
