Albion attempt to become the first team to beat relegated QPR in the Championship when they visit Loftus Road next Wednesday.


  Harry Redknapp's title favourites maintained their unbeaten start with a 1-0 home win against Birmingham today.


  Rangers remain second in the table on goal difference behind surprise early leaders Blackpool, who won 2-1 at Bournemouth.


  Bolton, the next visitors to The Amex next Saturday, are still winless after losing 1-0 at home to Leeds.


  It was good enough to move them off the foot of the table though on goal difference. Millwall have replaced them them after they were thrashed 5-1 at home by Derby.


  Albion have dropped two places to 15th ahead of tomorrow's trip to Reading (1.15pm).


  Loan signing Craig Conway's parent club Cardiff drew 1-1 in the Premier League at Hull.
