History of the Queens Park Rangers v Colchester United fixture

Q.P.R. prepare to entertain Colchester United at Loftus Road on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rangers are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 2 of the 17 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Loftus Road was just last season, in September 2002, with Q.P.R. running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League Division Two match.
