QPR set for Manchester United tie

Queens Park Rangers travel to Old Trafford tonight for their Carling Cup tie.

The R's have been rewarded with the match at the Premiership champions after they dumped Aston Villa out at Villa Park in the third round.

Gavin Mahon could return to the starting lineup after he netted the winner as a substitute against Cardiff at the weekend.

But caretaker manager Gareth Ainsworth will have to manage without Mikele Leigertwood who is serving the third game of his four-match ban.

Ainsworth said: "We're the underdogs and we're not expected to win, but if we put the passion in we can achieve anything at this club.

"The Premier League is the place we want to be so this is going to be a little taste of what the boys can expect and what they can look forward to, because I believe QPR will be in the Premier League one day soon."
