QPR v Swansea City live stream, Tuesday 25 January, 7.45pm GMT
QPR will be seeking their fifth consecutive victory in the Championship when Swansea City visit Loftus Road on Tuesday.
Rangers are in fantastic form, having beaten Bristol City, Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion and Coventry City in their last four outings. That run of results has seen them climb from seventh place up to fourth, and if results go their way in the coming days they could start February inside the automatic promotion spots.
For a while, QPR were synonymous with highly-paid journeymen coming towards the end of their careers. That model did not serve them well in the Premier League, and Rangers have taken a different approach in recent years. Mark Warburton's squad contains a handful of experienced players, but it is dominated by those in their early to mid-20s. QPR's new approach is bringing them results, and the Rs will fancy their chances of finishing in the play-offs at least this term.
Swansea reached the play-off final last season but are highly unlikely to do so in 2021/22. They are way down in 17th place heading into the midweek round of fixtures, having won only two games since the start of November.
One of those victories came on Saturday, as a goal from Ryan Manning brought the Swans victory over Preston. Their away record does not make for particularly pleasant reading, though: only Barnsley and Peterborough have collected fewer points on the road than Swansea this season.
Stefan Johansen will need to be assessed ahead of kick-off, while QPR will definitely be without Seny Dieng, Ilias Chair and Osman Kakay, all of whom are at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Swansea are unlikely to make too many changes to their XI after the win against Preston, although Hannes Wolf is pushing for a start after coming off the bench at half-time last time out.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm GMT on Tuesday 25 January, and UK viewers can watch live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
