Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has no new injuries to contend with but has hinted that he will make changes during the festive period.
Midfielder Darren Pratley, winger David Cotterill and striker Stephen Dobbie are among those hoping for a recall.
MATCH PREVIEW
Swansea spent weeks in third place breathing down the necks of jittery rivals Cardiff. Now leaders QPR seem to be wobbling, and the Swans will want to take advantage.
Neil Warnock's Rangers side are three points clear at the top of the Championship but have suffered back-to-back defeats, and have won only three of their last 11 matches.
But, unfortunately for Swansea, who have never won a league game at Loftus Road, their own form has dipped. Brendan Rodgers' men, who are now fourth, have won only one of their last five games.
And their opponents still have a brilliant defensive record. Rangers have kept an unrivalled 11 clean sheets this season and have conceded 14 goals - fewer than any other team in the division.
