Out: Fellaini (knee), Gibson (thigh), Hibbert (calf). Team News QPR manager Mark Hughes still has a couple of problems in defence ahead of his side's Premier League clash with Everton. Although Jose Bosingwa and Anton Ferdinand are both now fit, Armand Traore is still fighting for match fitness and full-back Fabio is due to have a scan on his hamstring in the next two weeks. Midfielder Samba Diakité returns from a one-match ban with striker Andy Johnson a long-term absentee. Everton, meanwhile, will be without Marouane Fellaini. Fellaini, who has been one of the most impressive players in the league this season, suffered a knee injury against Wigan two weeks ago and missed out on international duty with Belgium. He could be fit for next weekend's Merseyside derby as could Tony Hibbert, but Darron Gibson is likely to be out for longer while short-term signing Thomas Hitzlsperger will not yet be considered. German midfielder Hitzlsperger signed on on a short-term contract on Friday. Match Notes The frustration for QPR fans is that they have actually played some rather good football this season, but rarely for long enough to count. The probable return of Samba Diakité and the absence of Marouane Fellaini for Everton will help them compete physically in midfield, something they have struggled with. Meanwhile, the small pitch may hamper Everton's expansive wide game. But a home defeat would surely move Mark Hughes one step closer to the exit. Betting: Home 23-10, Away 11-10, Draw 23-10. Stat of the game: Everton have scored two goals or more in their last four Premier League games. Jonathan Liew's prediction: Queens Park Rangers 1 Everton 0.
