Queens Park Rangers caretaker manager Gareth Ainsworth will be looking for a win over Cardiff City in the Championship today to push his claims for the permanent job.

Ainsworth suffered his first defeat since taking charge when the R's lost 2-0 at Ipswich last week.

The clash sees seventh placed QPR take on sixth placed Cardiff with only three points between the sides. It begins a big week for Rangers as they prepare to travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the Carling Cup on Tuesday night.
