Leicester City is set to face Queens Park Rangers in a match that dates back to the late 1940s. The two teams have a long history of competition, with the majority of their meetings taking place in the second tier of English football. Leicester City has enjoyed 25 victories to date, with draws being a rare occurrence. The teams have also tended to reflect each other's fortunes in the wider league pyramid, with both being relegated from the top flight in 1969 and later achieving promotion in tandem in 1983 and 2014. In recent years, the teams have had some notable encounters, including a 4-1 loss for Leicester City at Loftus Road in December and a 2-1 win for Queens Park Rangers at King Power Stadium in March. One of the most memorable cup meetings between the clubs came in the FA Cup Quarter-Final of 1974, where Leicester City secured a famous victory with goals from Joe Waters. The most recent cup meeting arrived in January 2025, where Leicester City produced an emphatic 6-2 victory in the Emirates FA Cup Third Round at King Power Stadium. Hat-tricks have been rare in the history of the fixture, with just one recorded for each club. Arthur Rowley struck three in December 1951, while Bert Addinall netted the only QPR hat-trick in the very first meeting between the sides in 1948. Penalty kicks have also played their part over the years, with 14 converted in post-war meetings, split evenly between the two clubs. The most recent Leicester penalty came from Jamie Vardy in the 2025 FA Cup tie, while Rangers' last successful spot-kick in the fixture was scored by Marc Nygaard in 2007. Our top scorer against the R's is Gary Lineker, who scored six times against the Hoops, while Bert Addinall tops QPR's list with nine goals scored in the early post-war encounters.
