QPR 4-0 Leeds United highlights: Whites' automatic promotion bid derailed at Loftus Road as Leicester go up
and live on Freeview channel 276
Victory at Loftus Road will turn up the heat on promotion rivals Ipswich Town, who must wait until tomorrow to play Hull City and potentially reduce the arrears between themselves and current top two Leicester City and Leeds.
Lose or draw in West London and United will have left the door open for Kieran McKenna’s side to walk through and reclaim a spot in the automatic promotion places.
