The Hoops are looking to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time in 22 years.
Queens Park Rangers have been handed a triple injury boost ahead of tonight's FA Cup fourth round replay against Portsmouth.
Tomer Hemed returns to the Hoops squad for the clash at Loftus Road, while Geoff Cameron and Angel Rangel are both closing in on a return.
The duo, however, will not be ready for the Pompey clash.
If QPR can overcome the challenge of the League One side, they will secure a place in the fifth round for the first time in 22 years - as well as having a home tie to Premier League side Watford to look forward.
Speaking ahead of the game, Steve McClaren struggled to hide his enthusiasm for the challenge ahead.
He said: "I like the buzz that has been created and that is why I put great significance on the first game.
"We had to get a result and make sure we got in the hat.
"We did that and that has given the winners Watford at home which is an extra incentive to play for. We've none more so than to win.
"We want to go through in the Cup. As much for the supporters than anything, it's going to be a great atmosphere with plenty of fans.
"It's again what I called before the first match, a real cup tie and one which will test our players to the end.
