QPR and Millwall both invested in the summer but could look to splurge more money when the January window opens next month.

QPR, Millwall and Championship rivals have just two more fixtures this month before the January transfer window swings open for business.

A few weeks ago, it looked as if the winter market would be of more importance for Marti Cifuentes' R's side but a recent upturn in form has restored faith in the current crop of players at Loftus Road. Meanwhile, at the Den, some spectacular November form has already been forgotten with a new managerial appointment likely dictating the outfit's approach to January.
