Queens Park Rangers v Luton Town: How to watch, TV channel, kick-off time, head-to-head stats and team news

Queens Park Rangers welcome Luton Town for an all-Championship tie in the second round of the EFL Cup and both teams could use a pick-me-up right now.

The hosts only have a win over lower-tier Cambridge United in the previous round to show, as they are winless after three league outings.

Luton were spared the opening round after their Premier League relegation last season but the Hatters also find themselves struggling, with just one point and one goal from three games back in the second tier of English football.
