Manager Brendan Rodgers named the same matchday 18 for last Saturday`s 1-0 defeat at Sheffield United as he did for the previous 1-1 home draw versus Millwall.
But while he has vowed not to alter City`s traditional passing and patient build-up play in order to rediscover the club`s winning habit, he may opt to rotate a couple of faces of Loftus Road.
Rodgers has already stressed the importance of utilising his squad over the frantic festive period and the likes of midfielder Darren Pratley, wide man David Cotterill and striker Stephen Dobbie may each get an early chance to shine.
Tom Butler (thigh) and Ferrie Bodde (knee) remain long-term absentees, though.
