Adel Taarabt is confident QPR can maintain their fine recent run and mount a genuine promotion push this term.

The Moroccan midfielder's personal upturn in form has coincided with Rangers' three-match winning streak which has propelled them to within touching distance of the play-off places.

Jim Magilton's side have scored 18 goals in their last six outings, and a big win over Leicester on Friday night will lift them up to second.

"Every game in this division is tough," said Taarabt.

"But we are a very confident side and if we can keep this run going, we will be in the picture at the end of the season."
