Prediction: 3-1
QPR
After shocking Bournemouth in the FA Cup last 16, Leicester City will look to return to winning ways in the Championship when they host Queens Park Rangers to their King Power Stadium. The Foxes are eyeing their 14th home win of the process, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi remains on the sidelines with injury, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Hoops, on the other hand, have already suffered nine defeats on the road this term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Leicester City’s party at King Power Stadium. In their last meeting at the venue Leicester rolled over QPR 5-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Midfielder Rayan Kolli remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Jamie Vardy):
Spending his early career playing no-league football, Jamie Vardy made the headlines when he joined Leicester City in a £1 million deal in 2012, but little did he know that he would go on to become a genuine Premier League star just three years later.
The experienced forward helped the Foxes gain promotion to the elite division and then score more than 20 goals as they mounted an unlikely title bid, earning worldwide acclaim as well as a place in the England squad. Vardy went on to score his first two goals for the Three Lions in March 2016 friendlies, with his back-heel goal against Germany in Berlin seeing him instantly become a fans’ favourite.
Over the years, Vardy has earned a reputation as a striker who never gives up and can be a real menace for opposition defenders, but his excellent goalscoring record and good link-up play are enough to suggest he can be described as a mix of old-style pacey forwards and modern strikers.
Highlighted Team (QPR):
Queens Park Rangers are well known as QPR. The capital club was founded in 1886 and Loftus Road Stadium is QPR’s ground. Loftus Road Stadium was opened in 1904 and the capacity of the venue 18,439. However, it has to be noted that no less than 35,353 spectators watched the game between QPR and Leeds on 27 April, 1974.
The Hoops finished the 1975/1976 First Division campaign in second position in the standings, just behind champions Liverpool. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but Queens Park Rangers made it to the FA Cup final in 1982 as well.
QPR were beaten by fellow capital club Tottenham Hotspur in the title game, but they did well to lift the League Cup trophy in 1967. Queens Park’s main rivals are Brentford, Chelsea and Fulham, but other clubs based in London are considered QPR’s rivals as well. The colour of QPR’s shirts is blue and white.
