But either way, plenty of goals are expected in the contest at Loftus Road as United take on the second highest scorers in the division behind West Brom with three goals or more only 4-6 and four or more only 13-8 with two or more strong odds-on at 2-9.

United's no 9 Patrick Bamford once again heads the first goalscorer market at 4-1 ahead of Tyler Roberts who will not be justifying odds of 6-1 with the Wales international out injured following a hamstring issue.

QPR's top scorer Nahki Wells is not surprisingly rated the home side's main threat with Wells 13-2 to net first followed by Jordan Hugill at 15-2.

United's Mateusz Bogusz is another player prominent in the first scorer market without much foundation at 8-1 considering the young Pole played for United's under-23s on Friday.

But the next four players in the market might all attract good interest with United's Pablo Hernandez a decent price at 8-1 followed by team-mate Helder Costa at 9-1 and Rs class act Eberechi Eze as big as 19-2.

Leeds' Jack Harrison is next at 10-1 with Mateusz Klich the same price and Gjanni Alioski 11s.

Clarke comes next at 12s, the same price as United's Stuart Dallas and QPR's Bright Samuel and goals are clearly expected in the contest as a whole with 14-1 available about no goalscorer.

Luke Aying again looks a big price at 28-1 to score first, comments that also apply to Kalvin Phillips at 33s.

But Bamford is again rated as easily the most likely player to score at all with the Whites striker only just above evens and 21-20 to net at any point during the match.

In the outright market, the Whites are no bigger than 4-5 to finally leave London with a victory for the first time in ten games with Mark Warburton's hosts available at 17-5.

The draw is around the 3-1 mark with Marathon Bet going 63-20.

Yet a 1-1 draw is actually rated the most likely outcome in a confusing market at 29-4 with wins for Leeds via scorelines of 2-1 (15-2), 1-0 (35-4) and 2-0 (19-2) next in the list.

If Leeds are to return home to Yorkshire with nothing then a 2-1 win for the hosts is rated the most probable scoreline at 14-1 followed by a 1-0 win at 15s.

But if the bookies are right then whatever happens expect goals with even five goals or more only 15-4.
