Leicester v QPR

Leicester vs QPR Preview

Leicester City slipped to a fifth defeat on the trot in the Premier League last Saturday when The Foxes were dealt a 2-1 defeat away from home at Aston Villa but although Leicester City now return to the home surroundings of their King Power Stadium for this upcoming FA Cup clash against QPR, the hosts are by no means guaranteed a result here.

Championship club, QPR, by contrast will head into this FA Cup tie in the east midlands in confident mood as the London club are currently enjoying a sustained run of decent form as The R's have suffered just one loss in their last 11 matches in all competitions.

Leicester City's recent defeats in the English top flight have seen The Foxes come off second best against the likes of Newcastle United, Wolves, Liverpool, Manchester City and the aforementioned Aston Villa, so manager Ruud van Nistelrooij may shake his squad up and start the game with some fresh faces as he seeks to find a winning combination.

However, this may be easier said than done as Leicester City have managed to capture just one win from their last 13 matches in all competitions which came in the form of a 3-1 home win against West Ham but also includes being dealt no fewer than 10 defeats within this period as well.

QPR registered a second win on the trot last Monday night when the London club beat Luton Town 2-1 in the Championship which followed hot on the heels of a decent 3-1 home win against Watford, so manager Martí Cifuentes will be hoping his side can continue their recent impressive results in this upcoming FA Cup tie.

Indeed, recent results overall have seen QPR being handed just the single loss within their previous 11 matches in all competitions and includes picking up six wins and four draws in the process, so the visitors might just fancy their chances of producing an upset here at the King Power Stadium.

However, results away from home for QPR continue to hinder The R's progress as the visitors have registered just one win from their previous 10 outings on the road overall, which came in the form of a 2-0 win away from home at Cardiff City in the Championship.

The goals market may appeal though for this upcoming FA Cup 3rd round tie against Leicester City as six out of QPR's last 11 games overall have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.

Leicester City v QPR Verdict
