Match facts

Wigan have won none of their past 10 matches against QPR in all competitions (W0 D4 L6), and have lost four in a row. QPR haven't conceded a goal in any of their previous three visits to the DW Stadium against Wigan in all competitions - two goalless draws and a 1-0 win. Wigan have won just one of their past 10 league games (D2 L7), beating Aston Villa 3-0 in January. QPR have won just one of their previous seven away league games (D3 L3), with that victory coming at Nottingham Forest in December last year. Wigan's Joe Garner has netted three goals in his past five league games, having scored just once in his first 14 this season. This will be QPR boss Steve McClaren's fifth league visit to Wigan - he has lost none of his previous four (W3 D1 L0), facing a different manager each time (Jewell, Coyle, Mackay, Joyce).
