Leeds United kick-off against QPR at Loftus Road in just under an hour as the Whites look to break their London hoodoo which has seen them lose every game in the capital this season and many bad results beyond that.
With just one win in their last six games, the Whites are in something of a performance tumble and have seen the closing playoff pack bring their once nine-point buffer from 2nd to 3rd down to just four points after Fulham’s 1-0 win last night at home to Fulham.

Leeds make an enforced injury change by moving Stuart Dallas to left-back to replace the injured Barry Douglas. This means that there is no place in the starting line-up for Gianni Alioski who slips to the bench. Pablo Hernandez makes a return to the starting XI in a move that should give the Whites more creativity in the middle of the park.
Bench of kids – Leeds United fans react to team news vs QPR
Is Gjanni really the most appropriate adult supervision we could find to babysit that bench of kids?

Probably the weakest bench we’ve had since League One.
