Queens Park Rangers welcome Chelsea to Loftus Road on Saturday, with the R's desperate to claim their first win of the Premier League season.

Queens Park Rangers host Chelsea at Loftus Road this Saturday, with the West London side desperate to get their first three points of the campaign.

Mark Hughes's side have picked up two defeats and one draw since the start of the new Premier League season, while the Champions League winners have a 100% record so far following a 2-0 win over Newcastle United before the international break.

Chelsea skipper John Terry and R's defender Anton Ferdinand are expected to come face to face for the first time since Terry was acquitted of a racially-aggravated public order offence in July after both players recovered from their respective injuries.

QPR summer signings Esteban Granero and Park Ji-Sung are likely to line the midfield, while Roberto Di Matteo is expected to place striker Fernando Torres up front on his own with Eden Hazard and Juan Mata providing support to the Spaniard.
