Albion v QPR LIVE updates and goal alerts from The Hawthorns

QPR have sold a little under 1,500 today so there'll be a few empty seats in the away end which affect the turn-out today, but with a little over ten minutes until kick off The Hawthorns is beginning to populate.

The pitch, as you would expect before the third outing on it this season, is immaculate.

It is Foundation Day here at The Hawthorns today, and there is plenty of presence felt around the place. A local team are flag bearers on the pitch in front of the tunnel, awaiting the players.

QPR: Charles, Mbengue, Edwards, Clarke-Salter, Cirkin; Madsen, Varane, Poku, Vale, Smyth; Burrell

Subs: Ward, Adamson, Morrison, Alemayehu, Kamara, Saito, Scarlett, Lloyd, Obikwu

There are a few notable absentees in the QPR squad today - Richard Kone, Ilias Chair, Tariq Lamptey, Jimmy Dunne, Karamoko Dembele and Rayan Kolli are all missing.

Albion: O'Leary; Styles, Phillips, Mepham, Townsend; Collyer, Molumby, Nzingoula, Price, Myhre; Heggebø
