5'
Onuoha hooks a clearance down the right hand flank after swapping passes with his goalkeeper. A little untidy, allowing Wolves some possession.

Zamora follows up with a decent effort from distance. Advantage QPR so far.

CISSE SHOULD SCORE! He did so well to control a ranging ball forward from Taiwo - but once he'd done so he had more than enough room to bury the finish. Ended up knocking it striaght at Hennessey.
3'
Big kick forward from QPR goalkeeper Kenny - Fletcher gives manful chase to put him under pressure.
2'
Uneventful start to this one - the Rs enjoying a touch more possession for now - hopeful ball for Zamora just out of the striker's reach.

Away we go! QPR kick off as Mark Clattenburg, today's referee, blows the whistle.

Bitterly cold day in London - no surprise to see the players in gloves. I'm looking out for someone brave enough not to wear any - and I've spotted one - Jamie O'Hara.

QPR won 3-0 at Wolves when the teams last met in the Premier League in September. It was their biggest Premier League victory since a 3-0 win against West Ham in April 1996.

MARK HUGHES: "I'm really looking forward to seeing them [Cisse and Zamora] play together, they've got great qualities that will complement each other. I think Bobby enjoyed his time under me at Fulham. The type of work we gave him helped him and we supported him when he was out through injury. When he came back in the second half of last season he was exceptional and was a big reason why we ended up eighth in the Premier League."

MICK MCCARTHY: "I thought, with 18 games to play, if we could get 21 points out of it from where we were, to take us to 38, that would be a good tally. That is still possible to do. Is it going to be enough? I think it will be because I think it will be a low tally that stays up."
14:35
So the headline news is that Zamora makes his QPR debut and will join up with Cisse up front. Taarabt is back, too - and goes straight into the starting line-up. January arrivals Taiwo and Onuoha also start at the back. For Wolves, there's a new face as Sebastian Bassong comes in to strengthen the defence.

One game in progress already in the Premier League - and it's seen seven goals in 64 minutes.

Crunch clash at the foot of the table today. Wolves could leapfrog QPR with victory, but the hosts surely start as favourites, with their side strengthened considerably on deadline day.
