Hill boost for leaders

Hill was dismissed by referee Phil Crossley following an altercation with Swansea defender Alan Tate in the Boxing Day clash at Loftus Road. But at a meeting with the Football Association`s Regulatory Commission, the club`s appeal against the decision was upheld.

"I`m thankful the powers that be have looked at it and agreed that it was never a red card in the first place," Hill told the club`s official website.

Defender Peter Ramage, striker Akos Buzsaky and midfielder Lee Cook are all doubts with knee injuries.

Free-scoring midfielder Adel Taarabt will look to add to his 11 league goals at Carrow Road.
