QPR v Leeds United: Championship – live
Hello, hello, hello and welcome to coverage of Leeds United’s trip down to Loftus Road. Both sides find themselves competing for different things: another season in the Championship would be delicious for 18th-placed QPR; for Leeds, currently second, it would taste like gone-off milk.
The good news for tonight’s hosts is that they aren’t far off confirming safety. A victory this evening – following on from their 1-0 win over Preston last weekend – will keep them in the second tier.
Leeds, meanwhile, are looking over their shoulder – they sit one point ahead of Ipswich but having played an extra game. They had a wild time at Boro the other night, nicking it 4-3, but how they’d just love to claim a calm, composed strolling three points in London. But a Friday dalliance in the capital seems primed for, at the very least, a bit of drama. Kick-off’s at 8pm BST.
