Leeds United v QPR: Latest team news, TV/Live Stream, tickets, kick-off time | OneFootball

Leeds United host Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday evening, with both sides in search of a victory to get back to winning ways.

The Whites had been unbeaten in six games prior to the defeat over the weekend to Southampton. QPR themselves were beaten by the same scoreline in a 3-1 home defeat at Loftus Road to Coventry City.

Rangers have failed to win since September 2nd when they beat Middlesbrough 2-0, and languish at the wrong end of the table at present. They are 22nd with just two wins and two draws in their opening nine games in the Championship.

The Whites are expected to be among the favourites for promotion this season following relegation from the Premier League last term, and are now under the guidance of the two-time second tier winner with Norwich City, Daniel Farke.

It's another stern test for Gareth Ainsworth's side, who head to Elland Road to play a side unbeaten in their home games so far this season. Leeds beat Watford 3-0 in their last game on their own turf.

QPR are expected to be without defender Morgan Fox in West Yorkshire. The 30-year-old sustained a knee injury in the R’s 3-1 loss at home to Coventry City in their last outing. Fox has been virtually ever-present so far and has made eight appearances for the West London outfit so far.

The defender was replaced by Jake Clarke-Salter and is not expected to be available for the midweek trip to Leeds. He also currently looks doubtful for next Saturday’s home match against Blackburn. Rangers do have alternative options, withJimmy Dunne fit again after injury and new signing Reggie Cannon also in contention as well as Clarke-Salter.

QPR could also return Jack Colback to the lineup after he served the final game of his three-match suspension against Coventry City for his red card against Sunderland. Barring Fox and any further injury issues, Ainsworth may opt to go with the same team for the game against Coventry.

Lyndon Dykes started the clash but Sinclair Armstrong is a possible player to return to the XI after his assist from the bench against the Sky Blues.

The hosts, on the other hand, have been struggling with issues all over the pitch for much of the season. Joe Rodon returned to the bench against Southampton from his suspension, but was not brought back into the side and remained an unused substitute.

However, Farke may ring the changes following their disappointing loss last time out, and hinted that there could be in his pre-QPR press conference, via Phil Hay. On picking his team, he said: "You take everything into account - the performances in the last games, especially the last game, also the training. When you have lots of games, the physical data - who is fresh and ready to go."

That may see Rodon return, Farke added: "I'm totally convinced of his potential and his quality as a player. That's why I was so greedy to bring him in. We know he makes us better as a group." Patrick Bamford is also back in action, having briefly had a cameo from the bench at St. Mary's.

Prior to that game, Farke said on Bamford: “Well, he obviously isn’t in the perfect rhythm because he hasn’t played a game since the second to last pre-season game. So, obviously not there 100%, but one week further ahead in team training.

While Bamford may be about to return, Leeds will be without Willy Gnonto, as he’s had a “quite successful operation”, according to Farke and remains out. While the German also confirmed that Junior Firpo has suffered a setback with a hip issue and Djed Spence remains out of the game and possibly for another five or six weeks.

However, there are issues at full-back for Farke, with Stuart Dallas also remaining a long-term absentee, dating back to last season. However, recently he claimed Dallas is "improving" all the time, according to Farke. The Northern Irish international is back in full training with the first-team squad and a few weeks away from being in full contention, having suffered a "minor setback".

Sam Byram has previously struggled to play back-to-back games regularly, and could be rested again. Farke claims a late check will be required before tonight's clash.

the German claims that the likes of Gnonto, Spence, and Firpo are all on track to return after the next international break.
