Half-time: Leeds United 0 QPR 0
QPR competed well in the first half but lost Jamie Mackie after he picked up what appeared to be another hamstring injury.
Rangers forward Mackie, who missed more than three months of the season with a hamstring problem, went off after 24 minutes at Elland Road.
He was replaced by Sebastian Polter, who picked up a knock during Friday’s defeat against Middlesbrough and was left out of the starting line-up in favour of Conor Washington.
Junior Hoilett and Massimo Luongo were also recalled to the side, with Tjaronn Chery and Karl Henry dropping to the bench.
Rangers failed to trouble 19-year-old goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who is making his senior debut for Leeds, before the youngster kept out a shot from Hoilett on 38 minutes.
Earlier, Hoilett sent an effort over and Matt Phillips fired wide of the near post as both teams struggled to create clear-cut chances.
And in the final seconds of the half, Polter and Washington were just unable to connect with Phillips’ cross.
At the other end, in-form Rangers keeper Alex Smithies comfortably gathered efforts from Mustapha Carayol and former Brentford man Stuart Dallas.
Subs: Ingram, Robinson, Henry, Chery, Gladwin, El Khayati.
