Queens Park Rangers v Leicester City: match preview

QPR and Leicester City both look likely to be returning to the Championship next season on current form. It is early to call this a relegation six-point affair but Harry Redknapp and Nigel Pearson will be desperate for three points to secure leverage in the fight to stay up. QPR look early favourites as Leicester have not scored in five and are without a win in their past seven league games. Graham Searles
