QPR have Rob Green back from illness as they attempt to get themselves off the bottom of the table.

The goalkeeper missed Rangers' last outing but will be between the sticks for the visit of Aston Villa.

There were doubts before the game for Harry Redknapp's side over Sandro and Nedum Onuoha. The latter is not in the squad but Sandro is in the starting line-up.

Adel Taarabt, who has been involved in a very public falling out with Redknapp since last weekend, is not in the squad - however is exclusion is understood to be due to illness.

Paul Lambert's Villa have lost their last four games - and as they look to bring that run to an end - they will have to do so without the impressive Philippe Senderos whose thigh injury keeps him out.

Christian Benteke continues in attack.

TEAMS...

QPR: Green, Isla, Dunne, Caulker, Yun, Vargas, Henry, Sandro, Fer, Zamora, Austin.
