The Hoops could have a great change against Everton, as Rafa Benitez will again be without four key players at Loftus Road.

QPR will be hoping to make it through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup against an under strength Everton side.

But the Toffees still head into the Loftus Road encounter as favourites against their Championship hosts on Tuesday night.

Rafa Benitez will be looking for a reaction after Everton suffered their first loss of the season on Saturday - a 3-0 loss at Aston Villa.

Can the Hoops prevail against their much-fancied opponents.

Here’s all the key information you need to know ahead of the tie.

What’s the team news?

Sam Field (knee) and Luke Wallace (hamstring) are both confirmed absentees for QPR.

Luke Amos has recently recovered from a long-term setback and could feature at some point.

What about the opposition?

Benitez will be without four of his key players yet again.

Richarlison (knee), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (quad), Seamus Coleman (hamstring) and Jordan Pickford (shoulder) are all absent for the next couple of weeks.

Could anyone make a debut?

For Everton Salomon Rondon is the only fit senior striker and he may not be risked.

It could, therefore, hand an opportunity to Ellis Simms to make his bow.

The 19-year-old netted 10 goals in 24 games while on loan at Blackpool last season, helping them earn League One promotion.

Simms has only just recovered from a hamstring injury but was on the bench in the defeat at Villa.
