Match Preview
Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea meet at
Loftus Road on Sunday in a west London
derby of great significance at both ends of
the Barclays Premier League.
Chelsea head into the weekend with a
seven-point lead over Arsenal at the
summit, as well as a match in hand over
the chasing pack.
Rangers are two points adrift of safety
having played at least a match more than
most of the sides around them - Aston
Villa the exception following a 3-3 draw
between the sides on Tuesday.
"[This is] obviously a very important match
for both teams," said Chelsea manager
Jose Mourinho. "We know that, we know
they want to win. Nobody is expecting an
easy match.
"We have to win every game, we have to
win the next game and we don't think
about the points we have or the match we
have in hand, we just think about the next
match.
"I know QPR have played one match more
than the teams they are competing with
and everyone knows they need points in
these remaining six matches they have, so
we know it's a difficult game."
Asked whether he was expecting to be
greeted by a hostile atmosphere at Loftus
Road, Mourinho added: "It's what people
tell me. I've never played there, so I don't
know, but that's what people tell me.
"The people in the stands can play a role,
but they cannot score goals."
QPR boss Chris Ramsey believes Sunday's
encounter is a bigger fixture for his side
than it is for Chelsea, whose healthy
cushion at the top of the table is in stark
contrast to their London rivals' plight.
"That's a fair assessment," he remarked.
"They can afford to have a blip and still
win the league. We really do need to pick
up every point that we can.
"It'll be a very, very tough game. Hopefully
an enjoyable game for the fans, but not
too enjoyable for the neutral because I
hope that we can do well and collect all
the points.
"But we know that any team playing
Chelsea - especially in the form that they're
in and in the run-in to the championship -
it's going to be a very difficult game and
the players are up for it."
Chelsea striker Diego Costa is expected to
miss four matches after lasting just 11
minutes as a second-half substitute in last
weekend's 2-1 victory over Stoke City
before pulling up with yet another
hamstring injury.
Cesc Fabregas will wear a mask after
breaking his nose and, along with
Nemanja Matic, is one booking away from
a two-match ban, with Manchester United
and Arsenal next up.
Eduardo Vargas (knee), Rio Ferdinand
(knock), Leroy Fer (knee) and Richard
Dunne (fitness) are among QPR's
considerable list of absentees.
QPR (from): Green, McCarthy, Murphy,
Caulker, Hill, Isla, Onuoha, Traore, Yun,
Barton, Henry, Hoilett, Kranjcar, Phillips,
Sandro, Wright-Phillips, Austin, Taarabt,
Zamora.
Chelsea (from): Blackman, Cech, Courtois,
Azpilicueta, Cahill, Christensen, Filipe,
Ivanovic, Terry, Zouma, Cuadrado,
Fabregas, Hazard, Loftus-Cheek, Matic,
Mikel, Oscar, Ramires, Willian, Drogba,
Remy.
