Image for Leeds v QPR – Match Preview

Leeds have only conceded two goals in their last five home league games against QPR (W2 D2 L1), though both came in the most recent two meetings.

QPR are aiming to do the league double over the Whites for the first time since the 1990-91 season, when both sides competed in the top-flight.

Leeds` last win by five clear goals in any game came against QPR in November 2004, when the Whites won 6-1 with Brian Deane netting four.

The Hoops have won four of their last five Championship games (L1), the same number they`d won in their previous 15 since Ian Holloway`s return.

Chris Wood has scored a league high 44% of Leeds` goals in the Championship this season (22/50).

QPR`s last four games have all ended 2-1 to the home side (three times in their favour), with an own-goal being the winning goal in the last two.

Ian Holloway has now won 101 league games as QPR manager (102 if including play-offs); only Alec Stock and Jack Taylor have more.

The R`s have kept only one clean sheet in their last 24 games in all competitions (1-0 vs Reading).

QPR have won three of their last six Championship away games (D1 L2).
