Chelsea are expected to line up in the following 4-2-3-1 formation:
1 Petr Cech
2 Branislav Ivanovic
4 David Luiz
26 John Terry (c)
3 Ashley Cole
12 John Mikel Obi
8 Frank Lampard
7 Ramires
17 Eden Hazard
34 Ryan Bertrand
9 Fernando Torres
Substitutes: 22 Ross Turnbull, 28 Cesar Azpilicueta, 24 Gary Cahill, 6 Oriol Romeu, 11 Oscar, 13 Victor Moses, 23 Daniel Sturridge.
QPR are expected to line up in the following 4-4-2 formation:
Cesar; Bosingwa, Nelsen, Ferdinand, Fabio; Wright-Phillips, Granero, Faurlin, Park (c); Zamora, Johnson.
Subs: Green, Onuoha, Dyer, Hoilett, Cisse, Taarabt, Mackie.
The referee is Andre Marriner.
JT and Cole both start which means the handshakes will be interesting as the FA have decided not to ban it. The last time these sides met each other Chelsea won the match 6-1 with a Fernando Torres hat trick. This match will be different though as it's being played at Loftus Road. There will be a hostile home crowd. I expect a tough game with a lot of strong challenges flying in. The referee will have a difficult job as well.
In the league Chelsea have started the season in excellent form winning all of their last 3 league games scored 8 goals only conceded 2 whilst QPR have had a poor start only picking up 1 point from their last 3 games with a -7 GD.
