Key events
Here’s John Brewin, by the way, making his case.
So Leeds are without Patrick Bamford; in comes Joël Piroe to lead the line. QPR have the same XI that beat Preston.
QPR: Begovic, Dunne, Cook, Clarke-Salter, Paal, Field, Colback, Willock, Andersen, Chair, Dykes
Subs: Smyth, Hayden, Fox, Dixon-Bonner, Cannon, Larkeche, Armstrong, Walsh, Adomah
Leeds: Meslier, Byram, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo, Gray, Gruev, Gnonto, Rutter, Summerville, Piroe
Subs: Crew, Cresswell, Cooper, Kamara, Anthony, Shackleton, Darlow, Gelhardt, Fernández
Referee: Darren Bond
The teams
Here’s how they’re looking tonight.
Preamble
Hello, hello, hello and welcome to coverage of Leeds United’s trip down to Loftus Road. Both sides find themselves competing for different things: another season in the Championship would be delicious for 18th-placed QPR; for Leeds, currently second, it would taste like gone-off milk.
The good news for tonight’s hosts is that they aren’t far off confirming safety. A victory this evening – following on from their 1-0 win over Preston last weekend – will keep them in the second tier.
Leeds, meanwhile, are looking over their shoulder – they sit one point ahead of Ipswich but having played an extra game. They had a wild time at Boro the other night, nicking it 4-3, but how they’d just love to claim a calm, composed strolling three points in London. But a Friday dalliance in the capital seems primed for, at the very least, a bit of drama. Kick-off’s at 8pm BST.
