Queens Park Rangers

QPR had gone three matches without success before their home fixture against Preston North End on Saturday evening, with the Hoops sitting just one point above the drop zone at the time.

However, that margin now stands at four points after they registered a 1-0 win in West London, with Lyndon Dykes's first-half goal proving to be the difference.

With Huddersfield Town playing Birmingham City on Saturday, the chances are QPR only require one more point to secure their place in the second tier for another season.

Marti Cifuentes will want to end the season in style, though, with QPR having impressively won eight of their last 17 Championship fixtures, the sixth-best return in the division during that time.

Leeds United

Having failed to win in three matches, Leeds had reached a point where they could ill-afford anything less than a win over Middlesbrough on Monday night.

Daniel Farke's side had only scored once in fixtures against Coventry City, Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers, yet they netted four times in 61 minutes at the Riverside Stadium.

Middlesbrough would ultimately score three times themselves, the first time since September Leeds have conceded that many times in a league fixture.

Nevertheless, posting three points was all that mattered as the Yorkshire giants moved a point ahead of third-placed Ipswich Town, albeit having played a game more.

Leeds will now look to conclude their away schedule by posting a 12th win in 23 outings, while their current away defensive record is the joint-second best in the division.

Prediction: Queens Park Rangers 1-3 Leeds United
