QPR v Brighton: Austin starts

Charlie Austin returns to the QPR starting line-up for the game against Championship leaders Brighton at Loftus Road.

As expected, Austin comes back in with Matt Phillips switching to the flank and Karl Henry dropping to the bench.

Austin, who has been nursing a calf problem, has not started a match for more than a month.

Meanwhile, former QPR striker Bobby Zamora is among the Brighton substitutes.

QPR: Green; Perch, Onuoha, Hall, Konchesky; Sandro, Faurlin; Phillips, Fer, Hoilett; Austin.
Subs: Smithies, Chery, Henry, Polter, Angella, Tozser, Emmanuel-Thomas.

Brighton: Stockdale, Bruno, Greer, Dunk, Calderon; van La Parra, Kayal, Stephens, Murphy; Wilson, Hemed.
Subs: Maenpaa, Chicksen, Huenemeier, Crofts, Forster-Caskey, Manu, Zamora.
