QPR vs Leeds: David Prutton delivers prediction and issues top-six claim
LEEDS UNITED are back on track after their shocking run of form, according to David Prutton.
QPR vs Leeds: David Prutton has issued his prediction
Thomas Christiansen’s side had lost seven out of nine games before the international break but have since recovered by picking up seven points from their last four matches.
They are eighth in the Championship table, five points off six-placed Derby County.
Prutton is predicting a win for Leeds against QPR today (3pm) but he has concerns about Ian Holloway’s side.
“QPR could really do with a victory here,” he told Sky Sports.
“They've only picked up a point from their last five games and they could get dragged right into the relegation battle if they don't improve soon.

I imagine they'll be back up in or really challenging for a top-six spot soon
“Leeds, meanwhile, would have been disappointed not to hold on and beat Aston Villa last week, but they look to have really turned a corner now and I imagine they'll be back up in or really challenging for a top-six spot soon.”
QPR could call on captain Nedum Onuoha, who has returned to training following a three-month lay-off with a hamstring injury.
But defender Alex Baptiste and striker Jamie Mackie are suspended after seeing red in last weekend’s defeat at Preston.
Leeds head coach Christiansen will deliver his team news at his pre-match press conference at 12.30pm.
