QPR staying silent amid FA penalty points fears

QPR are remaining tight-lipped over reports claiming they are set to be denied promotion to the Barclays Premier League due to a points deduction imposed by the FA.

Neil Warnock’s side need just a point from today’s visit to Watford to secure their return to the top flight after a 15-year absence.

However, the FA will next week rule on seven breaches of regulations over the signing of Argentinian midfielder Alejandro Faurlin.
