Leeds United v QPR: The lowdown on the Rs injuries, form, stats and formation

Let's take a closer look...

What injuries do QPR have?

The only injury concern for Steve McClaren ahead of Saturday's visit to Elland Road is long-term absentee Grant Hall. The central defender missed out on the second half of the 2017/18 season after struggling with tendinitis in his knee during the opening months of the campaign.

The 27-year-old though could be included in the Rs squad this coming weekend as he faces a late fitness test ahead of what is potentially his long-awaited return to Championship action.

What is QPR's current form?

Current form: LWDDL

The Hoops enter the fixture against Marcelo Bielsa's men without a win since mid-November which came in the form of a 3-2 victory over neighbours Brentford.

Nigel Adkins' Hull City defeated QPR by the same scoreline last time out before two 2-2 draw with Rotherham United and Stoke City preceded that loss.

Steve McClaren's men sit 11th in the Championship table having endured a mixed campaign so far picking up twelve points on their travels so far this season.

What formation do QPR play?

Favoured formation: 4-2-3-1

Steve McClaren has opted for the 4-2-3-1 formation on eight occasions this season, while he has deployed 4-4-1-1 six times, 4-4-2 five times and 4-3-3 just once.

Last time out against Hull City the Rs lined up in their favoured formation with Nahki Wells leading the line. McClaren's men are expected to do the same once again this weekend which could see Marcelo Bielsa revert to a 4-1-4-1 formation having opted for a 3-3-1-3 against Sheffield United last time out.
