Leicester City, under the guidance of Ruud van Nistelrooy, will experience their inaugural knockout football match as they host Queens Park Rangers at the King Power Stadium for the FA Cup third-round encounter this Saturday. The Leicester City vs QPR match will kick off at 14:00 UK time.
Leicester City have not secured a victory in their last six matches, with the last five resulting in losses. All of those were in the Premier League. Following eight losses in their last ten matches, Leicester City could certainly use a break. This could prove challenging, considering the latest figures. Their most recent match resulted in a 2-1 loss against Aston Villa, and their previous encounter with QPR also concluded with a defeat by the same scoreline.
During their most recent visit to Leicester City, QPR secured three points in the Championship. The visitors arrive with similar expectations. Interestingly, these two teams have not faced each other in the FA Cup before, and QPR aims to secure their first victory against The Foxes in this tournament.
Although QPR has experienced some successes in this matchup, they have not maintained a consistently dominant performance against Leicester. In the past eight encounters between the two teams, The Hoops secured four victories. They arrive at this game having secured six victories in their last 10 matches. QPR experienced only a single loss in their last 11 matches.
