Leeds United 1 QPR 0 recap
Key Events
- 7.45pm kick-off at Elland Road
- Leeds 12th, three points off the play-offs with a game in hand
- Whites 11 points off the top two
- Leeds 12 points behind leaders Ipswich Town but have played a game less
- QPR third-bottom
At least with a victory tonight which very much feels needed after Saturday’s disappointment, especially where the automatic promotion chase is concerned as Ipswich Town and Leicester City continue to motor on. Leicester are at home to third placed Preston North End tonight. Leeds, currently 12th, are already 11 points behind the second-placed Foxes and 12 adrift of leaders Ipswich, albeit with a game in hand on the latter. Six points over these next four days really do feel like a must. A win might put Leeds fifth tonight if they can win by two clear goals and Norwich City slip up at Swansea City. Changes expected here, possibly as many as four of them. Rodon surely in and very likely Archie Gray too. Ayling must be a strong shout and so too Jaidon Anthony.
