Queens Park Rangers take on Leeds United in the FA Cup today.

Queens Park Rangers starting line-up: Ingram; Kakay, Furlong, Hall, Bidwell; Osayi-Samuel, Scowen, Cousins, Freeman, Eze; Oteh.

Queens Park Rangers substitutes: Lumley, Manning, Baptiste, Smith, Chair, Wszolek, Smyth.

Leeds United starting line-up: Peacock-Farrell; Shackleton, Ayling, Halme, Davis; Forshaw (c), Baker; Roberts, Clarke, Alioski; Harrison

Leeds United substitutes: Huffer, Pearce, Diaz, Gotts, Stevens, Oduor, Temenuzhkov.

QPR head into the game having gone five games unbeaten in the Championship, winning three in a row before picking up two draws in their last two games.

Steve McClaren goes with Matt Ingram in goal, operating behind a back four of Osman Kakay, Darnell Furlong, Grant Hall and Jake Bidwell.

Jordan Cousins and Josh Scowen start in midfield, with Luke Freeman, Eberechi Eze and Bright Osayi-Samuel supporting Aramide Oteh in the final third.

Ex-Leeds striker Matt Smith is on the bench, alongside Joe Lumley, Ryan Manning, Alex Baptiste, Ilias Chair, Pawel Wszolek and Paul Smyth.

Meanwhile, Leeds have lost their last two Championship games at the hands of Hull City and Nottingham Forest, with Marcelo Bielsa looking to get back to winning ways today.

Bielsa did already name his line-up on Friday, so fans won’t be surprised by any of the team, starting with Bailey Peacock-Farrell in goal behind a back four of Jamie Shackleton, Luke Ayling, Aapo Halme and Leif Davis.

Adam Forshaw joins Lewis Baker in midfield, with Tyler Roberts operating as a 10 behind Jack Harrison, whilst Jack Clarke and Ezgjan Alioski feature out wide.

Bielsa has chosen a very youthful bench, with striker Kun Temenuzhkov headlining the substitutes alongside Will Huffer, Tom Pearce, Hugo Diaz, Robbie Gotts, Jordan Stevens and Clarke Oduor.
