Foxes Face QPR Test

Last updated : 30 October 2009 By Joe Harris
Jim Magilton's side are the in-form team of the Championship, with their potent forwards scoring 12 goals in their last three games.

The likes of Wayne Routledge and Akos Buzsaky alongside loanees Jay Simpson and Adel Taarabt have produced the type of attacking football that many Premiership teams would fear.

While the Foxes will be anxious to stop QPR's attacking force tonight, they should expect QPR to have similar fears going into the game.

The Foxes have had a more than promising season, climbing to fifth in the table after an incredibly lucky win at Reading on Monday night. And, with the prospect of climbing into the top two with a win tonight, City will be desperate for a result.

Pearson is likely to face a selection headache tonight, with Matty Fryatt, Paul Gallagher and Martyn Waghorn fighting for starts in attack while Steve Howard looks set for another night on the bench after failing to find the net all season.

With both teams producing some fine football of late, this match looks too close to call.
