Queens Park Rangers Preview – Can the Hoops build on their recent home wins?
Mark Warburton’s Queens Park Rangers kicked off the new decade with a thumping 6-1 win over Cardiff City at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium. The Londoners followed that up with another emphatic victory over a Welsh club, this time a 5-1 success over Swansea City in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup.
Despite those impressive home wins, Rangers have really struggled away from home lately. The Hoops have lost each of their last three on the road, conceding a whopping nine goals in the process. They have lost five of their last seven away matches in the Championship, winning only once since October.
QPR have blown hot and cold this term, but they find themselves down in a lowly 15th place after 27 games. The R’s are 11 points above the drop zone and six points away from the top six.
After a poor showing in the west London derby at Griffin Park last weekend, can QPR strike back with a home win against one of the promotion favourites?
Leeds United Preview – Will Bielsa’s boys bounce back with a big win on the road?
Leeds United have struggled in recent weeks, winning only one of their past seven in all competitions. After narrowly losing at Arsenal in the FA Cup, United fell to a shock defeat to Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road last Saturday, which was their first home league reverse since August.
Leeds don’t lose many, as only leaders West Bromwich Albion have lost fewer matches so far, but they have drawn half of their last six in Championship action. As a result, Leeds’ lead over third place has been cut to just six points.

Bielsa’s troops have one of the best away records in the second tier. So far, the Yorkshire club have won eight, drawn three and lost three on their travels. With West Brom now leading the way, can Leeds secure a ninth away win of the campaign and move back to the top before the Baggies play Stoke City on Monday night?
