Championship club Queens Park Rangers will host Premier League side Fulham in a third round 2020-21 FA Cup tie at Loftus Road on Saturday. Kick-off is at 17:00 CAT. 
 
Fulham beat their London rivals home and away by a 2-1 scoreline last season on their way to winning promotion back to England's top-flight via the playoffs.

Both QPR and Fulham have only ever reached a FA Cup final on one occasion in their history. The Superhoops lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the 1982 final, seven years after the Cottagers lost to another London team, West Ham United, in the 1975 showpiece at Wembley Stadium.

QPR suffered a fourth round exit last season following a 2-1 loss at home to Sheffield Wednesday while Fulham also exited the tournament at the same stage following a 4-0 defeat away to Manchester City. 
 
This will be the first FA Cup meeting between the two teams since Fulham beat QPR 2-0 at Craven Cottage in 1979 at the same stage of the competition.
