Captain Nedum Onuoha starts for QPR, youngster Ilias Chair keeps his place and Grant Hall is among the substitutes at Loftus Road.
Onuoha is back after nearly three months on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.
Hall, who has not played for the first team this season, is in the squad despite fears he could require surgery on a persistent knee problem, which would rule him out of the entire campaign.
Rangers are without the suspended Alex Baptiste and Jamie Mackie but Luke Freeman is back after serving a ban.
Matt Smith plays against his former club, partnering Conor Washington up front.
Meanwhile, Leeds are without injured midfielder Pablo Hernandez, who is replaced by Kemar Roofe.
QPR: Smithies, Onuoha, Robinson, Bidwell, Wszolek, Scowen, Luongo, Freeman, Chair, Washington, Smith.
Subs: Lumley, Hall, Cousins, Manning, Osayi-Samuel, Wheeler, Sylla.
Leeds: Ayling, Cooper, Jansson, Berardi, Phillips, Vieira, Saiz, Roofe, Alioski, Ekuban.
Subs: Lonergan, Shaughnessy, Pennington, Borthwick-Jackson, Anita, O’Kane, Cibicki.
