QPR vs Chelsea - LetsTalks Matchday Preview

So far this season Chelsea's league form has been magnificent, with the team picking up 3 wins from their first 3 games making them the only team in the English leagues to still have a 100% record and they head off to Loftus Road this weekend to take on their fierce London rivals, which is bound to be filled with incidents not least  the Anton Ferdinand and Terry 'handshake'.


Unlike Chelsea, QPR haven't had the most glamorous start to this year campaign. In their first 3 games they have only managed to pick up 1 point from a possible 9, losing the first game 5-0 to Swansea, drawing 1-1 on the road to Norwich and then inevitably losing 3-1 to Manchester City a week later. QPR have made a lot of new interesting signings this summer bringing in the likes of former blue Jose Bosingwa, Esteban Granero from Real Madrid and Ji- Sung Park from Manchester United who have quality in their own right however you can expect that its going to take a little while for all their new signings to gel so I think this tie could have come to soon for QPR in that respect.

Even though Chelsea have made a great start this season in the league they haven't been short of their own defeats in the two cup competitions so far this season. Firstly losing in the Community Shield 3-2 to Manchester City and then suffering an embarrassingly heavy defeat to Atlectico Madrid 4-1 in the European Super Cup shows that it is very possible to get at Chelsea as we still look a vulnerable at back at times. The only real problem I see Chelsea having against QPR this weekend would be if Ashley Cole and John Terry were unavailable as even though there is cover with Cahill and Ryan Bertrand the back line without them two especially Terry doesn't fill me with the greatest confidence as whenever Luiz and Cahill play alongside each other Chelsea tend to concede a lot of goals.
With that said I still can't look past a Chelsea victory as I think that Chelsea's attacking line of Torres, Hazard, potentially Moses as I hear Mata could be rested and Oscar seems just way to strong and bit of miss match against the likes of Bosingwa, Nelson, Ferdinand and Fabio.

I predict a 3-1 victory for Chelsea from a very action packed game and hopefully Torres can chip in with a couple of goals.
