QPR
QPR have had a fluctuated start to the season. They are currently 3 games without a win, having been held at home to Blackburn last weekend. It seems the reality of the Premier League has set in, with the buzz of Tony Fernandes’ takeover having faded slightly. It is at home they are mainly struggling, with no recorded wins in the league at Loftus Road so far this season. They are still putting in the performances away though, and are definitely no write offs.
PR will be without top striker DJ Campbell as well as long term injuries Rob Hulse and Kieron Dyer. Captain Joey Barton will be hoping to continue to impress on the big stage once more. Back the controversial Barton to score anytime at 8/1 with Bet 365.
Chelsea
Chelsea are aiming to continue their good form. The Blues will be high in confidence after beating Genk 5-0 midweek, as well as winning 3 games in a row in the Premier League. Since the start of the season Andres Villas-Boas’ have been going from strength to strength and their big names are finally starting to put in the performances expected. The team has begun to blend and flourish magnificently.
Captain John Terry, Juan Mata and Didier Drogba will be hoping for recalls to the side, having been rested midweek. Also, Fernando Torres continues his 3 match ban. Daniel Sturridge will be eager to take the place of the £50m Spanish striker, and is 9/2 to score first with Bet 365. So far this season the young English striker has scored 4 goals in 4 Premier League appearances.
Match prediction
With QPR having failed to gain a win at home this season combined with Chelsea’s current form it’s impossible to deny the short priced favourites. Baring recent performances and scores in mind, it would be a smart idea to back Chelsea for a big win. It also looks unlikely for QPR to strike back with key striker DJ Campbell missing.
