Preview: Queens Park Rangers vs Leeds United

Leeds United return to Sky Bet Championship action on Saturday lunchtime with a trip to Loftus Road to face Queens Park Rangers.

The Whites roared back to winning ways in impressive style during the week thanks to a convincing 2-0 victory over Millwall at Elland Road.

An own-goal from the Lions put the Whites ahead early on, before Ao Tanaka’s superb strike from the edge of the area sealed the three points in the second-half.

That result took Daniel Farke’s side back to the summit of the Sky Bet Championship, after the surrounding teams had played the previous day.

Queens Park Rangers, meanwhile, sit 14th in the standings, 12 points adrift of the Play-Off positions and nine clear of the relegation zone.

Martí Cifuentes’s team go into the clash having lost their previous four outings, though the Hoops did record a resounding 4-0 triumph over Derby County before that run began.

The two sides have already met once this campaign, with goals from Jayden Bogle and Joël Piroe proving the difference for the Whites at Elland Road back in November.

Action from Loftus Road gets underway at 12:30pm.
