# Predicted Starting XI To Play Against QPR

Aston Villa lost their second game in three games on Tuesday evening after they were beaten 1-0 by Norwich City.

Just like the Leeds game, the performance from the Villa players was sloppy from the first minute right up until the final whistle. In fact, to emphasise just how poor it really was, Villa’s first shot on target came in the 93rd minute and was the last kick of the game. True, they could have, and probably should have, had a penalty in the build up to that only shot on target, but, if truth be told, we did not deserve to leave Norfolk with a point.

That disappointing defeat, made even more disappointing by the fact that Norwich had been in pretty terrible form beforehand, means that Villa now sit 13th in the table – 7 points behind the 6th and final play-off position.

As we all know, there is a steady flow of games during this time of the year, and next up for The Villans is a trip to Loftus Road on Sunday afternoon to face a QPR side who currently sit 18th in the table, 5 points below Villa. QPR, who have lost their last four games, are out of form at the moment, but one thing in their favour is that the game is being televised on Sky Sports – Villa haven’t won a televised game all season.

Here is our predicted XI for Sunday’s match; we are expecting Bruce to make a few changes.
