Five stats...
Saturday's encounter will be the 71st meeting between the two sides. Leeds have been successful on 20 occasions, while Queens Park Rangers have won 16 and 14 have been drawn.

It looked as though the wheels had come off Leeds' title charge when they visited Loftus Road on March 11 1992. Having won 3-1 at Tottenham on the Saturday, confidence was high heading into this one four days later, but after taking the lead through Gary Speed it all went wrong from there. QPR turned the game around to win 4-1 thanks to goals from Les Ferdinand, Bradley Allen, Andy Sinton and Clive Wilson. To make matters worse, Leeds had Chris Whyte dismissed.

It was a much happier visit to Loftus Road on April 4 1994, as Leeds ran out convincing 4-0 winners. Leeds took a 2-0 half-time lead through strikes from Brian Deane and Rod Wallace, before a David White double after the break ensured a happy journey back up north.

Leeds completed their championship winning campaign of 1973/74 with a trip to Loftus Road on April 27 1974. With the title already in the bag, Leeds ensured the season ended on a winning note thanks to a strike from Allan Clarke. It also meant a winning send off for manager Don Revie.

Leeds have a decent record at Loftus Road - they are unbeaten in their last five visits, having won two and drawn the other three. Their last defeat took place on November 19 1994, going down 3-2 in the Premier League. Les Ferdinand gave the hosts a 2-0 lead that day, before an own goal from Alan McDonald halved the deficit. Kevin Gallen made it 3-1, before Brian Deane's goal ensured a nervy finish in West London.
