Leicester City is hoping to extend their winning streak in the EFL Championship as they face QPR at Loftus Road. Manager Enzo Maresca’s decision to not make wholesale changes in their recent match against Sunderland paid off, as the team came out on top with a 1-0 victory. Cesare Casadei performed well in the absence of Wilfred Ndidi, earning him the Man of the Match award. Kelechi Iheanacho, who replaced Jamie Vardy up front, was slightly ineffective in this particular game.
Leicester City has made an incredibly strong start to the tier-two season, dropping only three points and amassing 36 points from a possible 39. They currently sit at the top of the table with a 14-point lead over third-placed Leeds United. Experts and fans are already talking about their potential swift return to the Premier League. The team’s tactics have remained consistent throughout the season, with the right back, usually Ricardo Pereira, adopting a midfield position when the team is attacking. This has provided an extra body in midfield and enhanced their attacking threat.
On the other hand, QPR has been struggling in the Championship, failing to secure a league win in eight games and suffering five consecutive defeats. In terms of form, this match appears to be a David vs Goliath matchup.
Leicester City will be missing Wilfred Ndidi due to a muscle issue, while Kasey McAteer, Tom Cannon, and Callum Doyle are not match fit. Dennis Praet is still on the injury list and will be considered for selection in another week.
The predicted lineup for Leicester City against QPR includes Mads Hermansen in goal, Ricardo Pereira as right back, Conor Coady and Jannik Vestergaard in central defense, Hamza Choudhury as left back, Harry Winks as the defensive midfielder, Cesare Casadei and Kiernan Dewsbury Hall on the right and left midfield respectively, Stephy Mavididi on the right wing, Abdul Fatawu on the left wing, and Jamie Vardy as the lone striker.
Leicester City will be looking to continue their strong form and increase their lead at the top of the table. QPR, on the other hand, will be seeking to turn their fortunes around and secure a much-needed win.
