This is the first FA Cup meeting between Leicester and QPR since January 1987, with the R’s winning a third round tie 5-2 at Loftus Road.

None of the last 11 meetings between Leicester and QPR in all competitions have been drawn, with the Foxes winning six times to QPR’s five. The London side were victorious in the last such meeting, winning 2-1 at the King Power Stadium in the Championship last season.

Leicester have won 18 of their last 24 FA Cup matches (L6), winning the trophy for the first time in the 2020-21 campaign. Indeed, since the start of 2017-18, only Manchester City (31), Chelsea (26) and Manchester United (25) have won more matches in the competition proper than the Foxes (18).

In the current format of the competition (since 1925-26), QPR have suffered more FA Cup third round eliminations than any other side, going out at this stage 51 times.

Leicester’s Bobby De Cordova-Reid has scored two goals in his last three appearances against QPR in all competitions, while his first ever FA Cup goal came against the Hoops for Fulham in January 2021.
