Leicester City vs QPR - e-Football Preview

Article by e-QPR Correspondent Jeff Mayakovsky

After a season spent lamenting the lack of strike power, Charlie Austen excluded, we now are faced with a sudden influx of fit again strikers to choose from. Austen is returning to match fitness, Zamora produced his best display last week in recent times against Nottingham Forest, now we hear that Kevin Doyle is back in full training and Andy Johnson scored a brace against Millwall in an under 21 fixture. The other good news looks like Joey Barton is going to be back, though the worry is he is only three yellow cards away from a ban.

What can we expect? On Saturday we play Leicester City already promoted and slowly gathering the required points to be named Champions, but have recently slipped up dropping points to Reading and losing to Brighton at home. It would be foolish to expect Rangers to get anything, despite a victory against out of form Forest, but there is the hope that last weeks opening of the floodgates in the 5-2 win with Carroll, Simpson Onuha, Morrison and Zamora putting in very good performances, promises something better then we have come to expect.

But the dark cloud of recent away performances hovers over our hopes for a surprise result. I feel the optimist in me is feeling a wee bit battered. Saturday will prove a good litmus test of whether we are returning to our best form.
