Queens Park Rangers and Sunderland will both be looking to book their place in the quarter-finals of the League Cup this evening when they face each-other at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

The Hoops set up a clash with the Black Cats by beating Premier League side Everton on penalties last month.

Meanwhile, Sunderland have managed to secure victories over Port Vale, Blackpool and Wigan Athletic in this season's competition.

Here, we take a look at the latest team news ahead of this evening's clash, whether you will be able to stream the game and when the match is set to kick-off.

Team News

QPR are set to be without Lee Wallace and Sam Field for this particular fixture as this duo are still recovering from their respective injury issues.

Wallace is currently sidelined with a hamstring problem whilst Field has yet to feature for the club since sealing a permanent switch to the Hoops in the summer transfer window due to a knee injury.

Sam McCallum is facing a race to be fit for this clash after picking up a knock during QPR's defeat to Peterborough United last Saturday.

 

 

Sunderland manager Lee Johnson will be unable to call upon the services of Niall Huggins, Nathan Broadhead and Arbenit Xhemajli for this fixture due to their injuries.

Meanwhile, Elliot Embleton will also be forced to watch on from the sidelines as he is currently suspended.

Alex Pritchard may also miss the club's meeting with QPR as he recently sustained a neck injury in Sunderland's clash with Crewe Alexandra.

Is there a live stream?

Sunderland and QPR fans will not be able to stream tonight's game due to the EFL's regulations regarding League Cup fixtures.

Sky Sports have opted to televise Arsenal's clash with Leeds United today and Preston's meeting with Liverpool tomorrow.

What time does the game kick-off?

This evening's fixture is set to kick-off at 19:45pm at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

When you consider that QPR and Sunderland have scored a combined total of 49 goals in their respective leagues, this particular meeting could potentially turn out to be an enthralling affair if both sides show a willingness to attack tonight.
