QPR v Leeds Utd
Saturday 18th January 2020 12.30 | Loftus Road


Leeds travel down to their least favourite part of the Country as they look to bounce back from last weekends home defeat against Sheffield Wednesday.

Shepherds Bush, West London is the location, home of Mark Warburton's Queens Park Rangers.

Although separated by 19 points and 13 places in the Championship, Leeds record in the Capital does not read well. The Whites have won once in London in over two years, and with the gap between automatic promotion and the play offs narrowed to six points, there has never been a more important time to get back on track.

Both teams are on an identical run (one win in the last six matches), but with the Hoops playing at home, they will fancy their chances.

Much will depend on exciting midfielder Eberechi Eze. The 21yo is full of pace, and glides across the ground like the ball is glued to his foot. In his 16 appearances, Eze has netted 6 times, and has provided 6 assists.

Warburton has to decide whether to recall Jordan Hugill or stick with Nakhi Wells up front.

It is unknown whether Jack Clarke will sign in time to face his former club!

Hernandez is expected to start for Bielsa's team following his 2nd half come back against the Wendies last weekend.

Jamie Shackleton and Adam Forshaw remain sidelined again...........

It is expected that Patrick Bamford will lead the attack as Leeds have no other striking options. Let's hope he doesn't get injured....
 
Monk did a job on us twice this season, shut up shop and in fairness it should have been a scoreless draw at Elland Road as well, (goal keeper error). Apart from that we've scored 5 at Brum, 3 against Cardiff, scored away to WBA and Fulham. OPR have conceded 51 goals so far, only Luton are worse. If we play to our abilities we should really break the London hoodoo and come away winning 0-2. :emoticon-0170-ninja

And if we don’t panic with wayward passing when they have a go at us :emoticon-0148-yes:

No player would stay on their feet that long these days either

It’s amazing he stayed on his feet then... can’t believe bats missed his ankle with his trademark stamping lunge.

great goal, remember it like yesterday
