Foxes Camp
The Foxes currently sit in the play off places after Monday evenings smash and grab win at the Madejski Stadium.

Reading dominated much of the game but, on the stroke of half time, Martyn Waghorn converted a Matt Oakley corner to put City in front.

Matty Fryatt and Steve Howard both had chances in the second half to extend City's lead but failed to do so on this occasion.

Nigel Pearson will be expecting a more convincing performance against QPR on Friday evening, as the Foxes again appear live on Sky. A win could see City go joint top of the Coca Cola Championship.

QPR Camp
Jim Magilton's QPR go into tomorrow's game full of confidence and will be looking to make it four wins out of four against the Foxes.

Their last three games have seen the R's score twelve goals and concede three. Their last outing was away to Derby County. The Ram's were 2-0 up but a fight back from QPR saw them run out 4-2 winners. Goals from Taarabat, Mahon, Simpson and a last minute penalty from Akos Buzsaky sealed the win for the R's.

A win for QPR could see them leapfrog Leicester into second place.

Leicester City's first game of 2008 ended in what would be typical of months to come. A 3-1 defeat at the hands of QPR saw the Foxes plunge further into the relegation scrap.

Leicester were put to the sword in eleven first half minutes, with two goals coming from Damion Stewart and Adam Bolder.

Despite a 59th minute Iain Hume goal and an improved performance in the second half, City were unable to turn it around.
