Rangers News:
According to the BBC, Dexter Blackstock and Martin Rowlands have hamstring problems and may miss out. Blackstock missed Tuesday's match after leaving last Saturday's match early. Rowlands left Tuesday's match in the 28th minute with injury.
Lee Camp and Adam Bolder are back in contention after having to miss Tuesday's match against Derby as a condition of their loan and sale, respectively.
The Opponent:
Leicester is neither truly in the hunt for the playoffs (17 points behind 6th) nor in too much worry about relegation (9 points and GD ahead of QPR).
They're in decent form, however, having only lost once in the last eight games (0-2 away at Crystal Palace). They had won three straight before getting three draws and a loss in their last four.
Previous Meeting:
The teams played to a 1-1 draw at Loftus Road in late October. Leicester took a lead in the 7th minute but the R's leveled through a second half penalty by Rowlands after Leicester defender Gareth McAuley was sent off with a straight red.
The Series:
QPR has a slilght lead in the series, 21-9-18, with a similarly slight lead in league play, 19-9-17.
The Relegation Battle:
18 Burnley 36 -3 41
19 Hull 38 -15 41
20 Barnsley 38 -21 41
21 Southend 38 -19 38
------
22 QPR 37 -16 37
23 Luton 38 -18 36
24 Leeds 38 -25 35
Burnley is losing at Preston, 0-1, with about a half an hour to go after a goal by PNE's Nugent in the 33rd minute.
Luton hosts Ipswich.
Leeds visits Southend in a massive match for both.
Hull City visits Sunderland.
