History of the Queens Park Rangers v Norwich City fixture

Q.P.R. prepare to entertain Norwich City at Loftus Road on Monday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rangers are clearly on top, having won 29 and lost only 10 of the 54 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Loftus Road was less than a year ago, in October 2006, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3-3 draw in a Championship match.
