But Mark Warburton’s

QPR are celebratin­g back- to- back victories over Cardiff and Derby.

Mowbray ( right) said: “We know that if we perform as we can then we can give any team in this league problems. If the opposition get on top, then we have a mentality to keep clean sheets, to fight for one another and look to win in a different way.

“At the top end QPR have talented individual­s and at the back some tall, strong, powerful defenders.

“It’s obviously going to be a tough game – but it’s one that we should look forward to and take some belief into.”
