QPR sit a mid-table 13th in the Championship with 7 wins from 26 matches. Fresh off a 2-1 win over Luton Town last weekend, Queens Park Rangers will be hoping to cause an upset against a Premier League side this afternoon and advance through the FA Cup. The Hoops’ recent FA Cup form is fairly miserable exiting in the third round during eight of the last 11 seasons. 

Rangers move it back around the defensive line as they come to the right with Ashby looking to advance. Takes a deflection out for a throw in around halfway for the away side. Back they come slowly to the left as City sit deeper around halfway on the press. 

Leicester win a throw in inside their half. QPR  try to get there and disrupt and Kristiansen gives away a handball on the ground in the contact with Field. He feels hard done by and wanted a shove in the back called but it is QPR who get the free kick outside the area on the right edge. 

Plenty of midfield play again for both sides as they make errors coming forward. QPR take it over to the right and push forward with Saito! Good ball from Ashby as he swings it into the box! Turned away by Coady at the near post in front of his keeper!

Paal gets some attention for a hand injury. Takes plenty of time trying to get it sorted but he can't continue. Colback takes his place. 

Varane takes play up the left edge for QPR as they look for space along the flank. Pushed forward into the middle into the path of Frey outside the box but City are there to defend it well and hack it back up the middle of the park. QPR reset the play from the back. 

QPR give a ball away inside their own half! Justin has it racing down the left edge. Finds Vardy back on the inside at the edge of the box! Tries to get a shot away and it is deflected away for a corner. 

So the game has totally changed in the last five minutes and the wind has been taken out of the QPR sails. They look to work a ball up the left but it is quickly take away by City. Stolarczyk takes it forward outside his box before sending a ball up the middle. Driving forward are Leicester with Justin! He gets a ball forward for Buonanotte! Into the right edge of the box he goes but it dribbles out of the byline for a goal kick. 

QPR finally get their feet on the ball for an extended period of time through the middle. They look to work it right but the play breaks down over halfway as the Foxes come back with it in defensive. Shifted back for Stolarczyk who puts the boot back through it on halfway. 

Rangers cough it up in midfield. Leicester look to advance at pace but quickly drop it it out for Kristiansen. The Foxes look to hold possession around the back as QPR sit slightly deeper near halfway on the press. El Khannouss with a neat little touch up the left wins a throw in as he has it slid out from under him. 

Ayew stands over the corner on the right for City. He swings the ball towards the spot but it beats everyone and drifts away towards the opposite sideline. Leicester get there and take the ball around the back to reset the play. 

Stolarczyk is up outside the area to take the free kick. QPR work it forward up the right but it is turned over and sent back to the Foxes goal keeper. Coady nearly gets into trouble off a ball from his keeper but he does well to release up the right edge! 

It is a bitterly cold day at King Power Stadium. The temperature is officially in the negatives and the fog is thick out in the middle. That should make for some interesting conditions for football. 

WHAT A FINISH! City strike once more! They head onto the counter and race up down the middle of the pitch! The ball goes right for Justin screaming onto it at the edge of the box! He fires quickly off the right boot and puts it into the far corner in front of a diving Walsh who can't get near it! A fantastic finish! 

Away to the right go QPR. They work it forward into the midfield and then switch it back on the left with Paal pushing forward. Chair drags it back out for Varane in the midfield. A good passage of possession from QPR but they can't find a way forward. 

PENALTY FOR CITY! Mavididi tries to get to the byline and gets around Saito! Fires a ball across into the box which comes off the hand of the sliding Ashby the referee points to the spot! A clear call from the referee as Ashby argues his case but his hand was well away from his body! 

Standing over the free kick on the left side of the field in line with the box is Ashby. Delivered into the box but headed away by Justin. The ball comes back through the middle for QPR but the flag is up for offside as Edwards is not quick enough to get back into an onside position. 

Leicester play a ball around the back in the middle of the park. They work it forward with Skipp and then out to the left. Over the top it goes looking for McAteer but the ball is too far in front of him as QPR look to play it out of defence. 

QPR send the corner in from the right side. Floats towards the back post but the free kick goes the way of Leicester as there is a tug on the shirt of the Leicester defender inside the six yard area. Leicester look to play out up the right and win a throw in near halfway. 

El Khannouss puts the run on Saito! Ashby is caught 

Kolli has some space for QPR down the right edge. Finds Saito back on the inside outside the area! Forward down the byline goes Ashby! Puts a cross in but it is headed away at the six yard box from Leicester scrambling back in defence. 

QPR race up the right. A ball forward for Ashby is just in front of him as well and over the sideline. No rush for Leicester as they take a ball around the back once more and look to wind down the clock. Faes brings it forward and then across to the left near halfway before it is raked out back to Stolarczyk. 

MAVIDIDI NAILS IT HOME! An error on the right by QPR and Leicester quickly come down the left edge. The ball comes into the box and is propped back by El Khannouss into the path of Mavididi who sends it into the back corner of the net in front of a diving Walsh! 

Four minutes of added time as Leicester play a ball around the back. Stolarcyzk sends it forward up the right. Looking for the run through is Daka but it is too far in front of him and away over the byline. 

QPR exit again in the third round of the FA Cup. They had opportunities in the first half and looked to get some momentum back just before the break with the strike from Kolli. The second half was a bit of a shambles however with defensive errors and nothing happening up front for the visitors. In the end they were completely outplayed and were dominated on the scoreboard. They head to Plymouth Argyle next weekend in the Championship. 

Leicester send a defenisve free kick up the right edge that drifts into touch. QPR look to work it through the midfield but they are struggling to find space forward at the moment. The Foxes come up with it and Justin races down the right with Daka in support! Swung into the box and Edwards slices it away for a corner. 

QPR look to get to the outside on the left edge. Justin does well running back in defence to shut that attack down. The Foxes look right before raking out into the middle. The pass up the right is overcooked for Ayew and away over the sideline. 

Another change for City with McAteer taking the place of Mavididi out in the middle. 

Another loose clearing kick from QPR at the back as El Khannouss drives down the byline and swings a ball in from the right! QPR try to clear it but can't initially! Back on the left with Mavididi who looks to get to the outside of a man and slices his kick well wide of the target. 

That is all we have for you from a foggy Leicester this afternoon. Thanks for tuning into Tribe's FA Cup coverage. Until next time, I'm Dan Gread saying goodbye for now. 

Good ball up the left for Kristiansen but he rakes it back out for Stolarczyk. Again he takes an age with it on his box as QPR sit back on the press. Chipped across to the right for Coady but he works it back! Kolli puts the pressure on and forces the error! Nearly falls back into the path of QPR at the top of the box but City come up with the free kick as Buonanotte goes to ground in the challenge. 

Free kick for Smyth and QPR in midfield as Kristiansen comes through the back of him. QPR work it left and win another free kick on the flank. Frey comes away with it up front! Fires out left. The cross is too heavy back towards the right side of the box in front of Smyth and it drifts away over the byline for the City goal kick. 

It is a surprisingly even record between these two sides across their head to head matches. They have played each other 61 times across all competitions with the Foxes winning on 24 occasions. QPR have the edge with 27 wins, while the have been 10 draws between the two sides. This is their first FA Cup meeting since 1987!

Leicester took the lead early before Varane scored a ripper from deep. QPR then started to dominate the match before a quick double to Leicester took the wind out of their sails. The late error from Winks saw Kolli nail his chance and draw things closer at the break. While it has been difficult to see in the fog, the fans have been treated to plenty of goals at King Power Stadium and that might continue in the second half as both teams will be wanting to play forward. 

Lovely work down the left for QPR as they win another corner. Paal gets to the outside and races towards the byline. Sends a ball towards the near post which is turned over the byline by the retreating El Khannouss! 

VARDY NAILS IT! He steps up on the penalty spot and smashes the ball into the bottom left corner! Walsh dives the wrong way and Leicester are back to their two goal buffer! 

LEICESTER STRIKE EARLY! From the free kick delivery on the left by Buonanotte. He swings a ball into the six yard box over the top of the defenders! Justin stretches out the boot in front of Walsh and he turns it into the back of the net to open the scoring! 

The level of the game has raised out in the middle with that QPR goal. Leicester look up the left again and win a throw in deep inside the QPR half. Back with Stolarczyk outside his area as QPR push forward. He sends it deeper back into the middle of the pitch. 

Paal stands over the free kick on the right for QPR. He swings it towards the six yard box but there is a push on Daka in the box and the free kick goes the way of Leicester in defence. 

The Foxes win the ball in the left corner as QPR struggle to clear again. They eventually manage to control the ball and work it back forward to the left flank. Switching play and coming up the right is Smyth. Turned away in the middle by Leicester and they drop a ball back in defence. 

Edwards look to come down the right but the ball dribbles over the sideline in front of him. Leicester take their time on the defensive throw in. It bobbles around and Kolli looks to control it near the sideline as QPR win a late attacking throw in. Leicester get in the way with Mavididi!

City drop a ball back for Stolarczyk. He sends a ball deep into the mist. Leicester take hold on halfway and look to play up the left with Mavididi. He finds El Khannouss working the left flank but the ball gets away from him over the sideline in the attacking third. 

CHAIR! QPR win a turn over deep inside the Leicester half! Chair on the left edge of the box shoots from deep towards the near post! Stolarczyk gets over to his right and makes the diving save! 

Leicester shift it through the middle with Winks! Good ball up the right from Justin as he tries to swing a ball back into the box. Headed away in the fog by QPR as they look to hold possession back through the midfield. 

CHANCE! Leicester drop it back for Coady on the right! Given away by Stolarczyk in the midfield! Kolli gets a lovely first touch on the top of the box! Puts it on his right and sends the shot towards the target but it sails over the far post! A good chance there for the young striker goes begging! 

Welcome into Tribe’s Third Round FA Cup coverage between Leicester City and Queens Park Rangers live from King Power Stadium in Leicester. I’m Dan Gread and I will have all the action for you as it unfolds in this clash.

QPR throw into the middle of the park. Leicester look to control it off the head as Buonanotte nearly puts a ball on a platter outside the box for Vardy. Leicester work the left edge again. Mavididi tries to get to the outside but rakes it back out for Justin. 

Frey wins a corner as the ball comes in from deep into the Leicester box! Frey does well to control it on the right side of the six yard box! Gets a shot away but the sliding defence of Leicester sees it slid away for a corner! 

City win a throw in on the left as QPR try to work it down the flank. Thrown back towards halfway by City but the header is away over the sideline. QPR drop it back for Edwards who forces it into the middle! There is the full time whistle and Leicester City advance!
