QPR will be looking to put an end to what has been a difficult run in recent weeks as they take on Blackpool at Loftus Road tonight.
Mark Warburtonβs side are winless in four games, following a run of five wins in six that left them just a point off the automatic promotion places.
That has left them five points adrift of the top two, and with second-placed Bournemouth having two games in hand, the play-offs are now looking a more realistic route to promotion.
But with just five points separating the Rs in fourth from tenth-placed Luton, this game against the tangerines will be seen as must-win.
Blackpool meanwhile have not won away from home since October, but will go into this game with plenty of confidence having had a more solid February than the hosts.
π in W12 again tonight.

Team News
The Rs are waiting on late fitness tests to striker Lyndon Dykes and left back Lee Wallace, though Moses Odubajo could return if the latter is unavailable.
Stefan Johansen could also come back into midfield, though Rob Dickie is still serving a ban, so Dion Sanderson is likely to remain in the back three.
Injury-hit Blackpool are likely to rotate their squad with three games in the next week coming up, and their first changes will probably come in the striking pair of Jerry Yates and Gary Madine, disappointing against Cardiff at the weekend.
Shayne Lavery should come back in, whilst CJ Hamilton is set to return on the left after Charlie Kirkβs debut on Saturday.
