Can Queens Park Rangers resurrect their flailing play-off aspirations?

Rangers lost five matches on the bounce before finally ending that run with a 2-2 draw at Huddersfield on Good Friday.

Then, on Easter Monday, QPR claimed their first win since 12 March with Luke Amos’ 88th minute goal downing Derby at home.

So, Mark Warburton’s side, despite their recent slide, are tenth, just three points below the play-off line.

Stoke City meanwhile harboured hopes of getting back into the Premier League but it isn’t going to be.

Michael O’Neill’s side have at least won four of their last six following Monday’s 1-0 victory over Blackburn; Jacob Brown the scorer.

Nevertheless, the Potters are 144th, five points worse off than their visitors.

Will there be a winner at the Britannia Stadium?
