Leeds United visit Loftus Road this afternoon to face Marti Cifuentes’ Queens Park Rangers outfit in one of the Championship’s early kick-offs.

The Whites will hope to banish all memory of last season’s trip to QPR which derailed the club’s automatic promotion hopes ahead of the final day.

This time around, Leeds go into this fixture top of the table - but not by much. The two-point cushion United hold over Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United is a slender lead, while the four-point gap to Burnley in third could so easily be made up over the course of the next nine matches.

FT: QPR 2-2 Leeds United

A frantic end to that one but spoils shared. A point won from a losing position. Much better in the second half; Gnonto made a noticeable impact off the bench. A point ensures Leeds stay top throughout the int'l break.

90+4' Bogle yellow-carded for getting involved in the aftermath. Saito's foul a justified red, rakes his studs down the back of James' calf.

90+3'RED: Saito shown a straight red card for a foul on Dan James

90' Six added minutes.

Important intervention

86' BLOCK! Struijk with a goal-saving tackle inside the Leeds penalty area from Jimmy Dunne. Meslier punches resulting corner clear but Leeds squander opportunity to break.

84' Subs: Madsen on; Anderson off. Ramazani on; Solomon off.

Solomon really not happy about it.

81' CHANCE! Solomon gets the ball to overlapping Firpo in the nick of time. Defender's trundling low cross finds Gnonto but he can't quite get enough on it to trouble Nardi. Wave after wave of attack. Frey then booked for a shirt-pull on Rothwell.

76' Struijk has two bites at Dembele and is penalised for the second. Already on a yellow, the Leeds skipper. Needs to be careful. Think Gnonto was booked for dissent after the free-kick was awarded.

71' Struijk into the referee's notebook for a cynical foul on Smyth as QPR were breaking away.

60' Paal into the book for chopping down Dan James, who'd knocked the ball past him.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL BOOOOOOGGGGGGLEEEEEEEE

51' Leeds draw level with a close-range finish from Bogle. Gnonto immediately into the thick of it with a through-ball for Dan James, forcing QPR defence to turn and face. James with a cross into the middle which is squeezed to Bogle who taps in. Impact.

Underway again for the second half

46' Gnonto on; Aaronson off.

A rare half-time substitution from Farke, cheered by the away support.

HT: QPR 2-1 Leeds United

Whites not at the races, getting outfought and beaten to second balls, as well as exhibiting some sloppy behaviour in possession. A few out there looking particularly leggy, this the third game in six days.

45' Two added mins.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLL FIRPO 2-1

40' Solomon's low cross from the left flicked towards goal by Firpo but looks to take a touch on the way through from a QPR defender/GK. R's protesting the goal as Bogle, in an offside position, appeared to be interfering at back post - but goal stands.
