Latest: QPR 0 Leicester City 0 – Rangers go close and ‘Suarez’ holds up play

By

QPR made a lively start at Loftus Road, where the teams have had to contend with wet conditions – and a squirrel on the pitch that has twice held up play.

Kasper Schmeichel comfortably saved from Gary O’Neil following Matt Phillips’ low cross and the Leicester keeper also kept out a stinging drive from Niko Kranjcar.

And after ‘Suarez’, as he was dubbed by the home fans, halted play for a second time, Clint Hill’s header from Phillips’ corner was cleared off the line by Paul Konchesky.

Recent signing Yossi Benayoun is among QPR’s substitutes.

QPR (4-2-3-1): Green; Simpson, Dunne, Hill, Assou-Ekotto; Carroll, Barton: Phillips, Kranjcar, O’Neil; Austin.
Subs: Murphy; Traore, Onuoha, Jenas, Henry, Hoilett, Benayoun.
