Idrissa Sylla and Bright Osayi-Samuel start for QPR at Loftus Road, where youngster Aramide Otei is among the substitutes.
Summer signing Osayi-Samuel is set to play just behind Sylla, with the pair replacing strikers Matt Smith and Conor Washington.
Smith and Washington are on the bench, as is former Tottenham academy player Oteh, who has been included in the squad after impressing for Rangers’ development side.
Bristol City, meanwhile, bring back Jonathan Leko, who was cup-tied for their midweek Carabao Cup win against Manchester United.
QPR: Smithies; Baptiste, Onuoha, Robinson; Wszolek, Scowen, Luongo, Freeman, Bidwell; Osayi-Samuel, Sylla.
Subs: Lumley, Hall, Cousins, Washington, Smith, Wheeler, Oteh.
Bristol City: Fielding, Wright, Flint, Baker, Kelly, Leko, Brownhill, Smith, Bryan, Reid, Taylor.
Subs: Steele, Magnusson, Vyner, Pack, Paterson, Eliasson, Woodrow.
