Leeds United will be looking to maintain their good run of form when they take on Queens Park Rangers away from home at Loftus Road in London in the Championship this evening.

It was the Whites’ second successive win in the league following their 2-1 success over Swansea City at home.
Leeds find themselves third in the Championship table at the moment with 64 points from 33 matches, just two points behind league leaders Norwich City with a game in hand.
With QPR struggling for positive results and performances, Leeds will be confident of winning against Rangers in London this evening.
Steve McClaren’s side are 18th in the Championship table at the moment with 39 points from 33 matches, just nine points above the relegation zone.
This is how QPR and Leeds will line up at Loftus Road in the Championship this afternoon:
Meanwhile, former Leeds midfielder Vinnie Jones has shared a hilarious story about how an American investor rejected the chance to take over Newcastle United because of their nickname, the Magpies, and how he suggested him to buy the Whites.
Jones told talkSPORT regarding a potential Leeds sale: “I don’t think that would be the case. But if it was, I was speaking to somebody at the golf club last week and they had an offer to go in on a consortium with Newcastle.
“This American lad considered doing it, he didn’t know anything about it, but then he said, ‘What put me off was their name – The Magpies’.
“I said, ‘I’ll tell you what mate, I’ll tell you a club – Leeds United is what you want to buy if you have an interest in something that can go through the roof’.”
