OPINION
Leeds United travel to Loftus Road to take on QPR in an all-Championship clash in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday, and Marcelo Bielsa must make six changes to his starting XI.
The Whites are coming into this one on the back of a disappointing 4-2 loss to Nottingham Forest in the league which snapped an eight-game winning streak for Bielsa’s side.
Opponents QPR will be looking for a first win in three games on Sunday after two successive draws in the Championship, with Steve McLaren’s side sitting in ninth in the table.
In goal, Will Huffer should be given a chance to impress in place of Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
In defence, Jamie Shackleton must replace Luke Ayling at right-back, with Aapo Halme also given a chance in the middle in place of the suspended Kalvin Phillips, while Pontus Jansson and Barry Douglas both keep their places.
In midfield, Adam Forshaw and Mateusz Klich must both keep their spots, while Lewis Baker should be given a final chance to prove himself in place of the rested Pablo Hernandez.
Youngster Jack Clarke must be handed a rare start on one flank, with Ezgjan Alioski axed, while Jack Harrison must keep his place on the other wing.
Finally, Tyler Roberts must lead the line in place of Kemar Roofe.
This is a Leeds side full of youth, with four academy players starting, but still containing enough experience to destroy QPR and secure progress into the next round of the FA Cup.
