Team News: Didier Drogba starts for Chelsea against Queens Park Rangers

Didier Drogba starts in attack for Chelsea away to strugglers QPR in the Premier League.

Didier Drogba has been preferred to Loic Remy in attack for Chelsea against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road in the Premier League this afternoon.

Remy fails to make the bench for the Blues as Jose Mourinho makes one other change to his side after seeing them beat Stoke City 2-1 last weekend.

Ramires is favoured in midfield to fellow Brazilian Oscar, who drops to the bench alongside the likes of Filipe Luis and Juan Cuadrado.

QPR have made one change following their 3-3 draw with Aston Villa in midweek as Karl Henry takes the place of Niko Kranjcar.

QPR: Green; Isla, Onuoha, Caulker, Hill; Phillips, Sandro, Barton, Henry; Austin Zamora
Subs: McCarthy, Traore, Kranjcar, Dunne, Hoilett, Grego-Cox, Comley

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Ramires, Willian, Hazard; Drogba
Subs: Cech, Zouma, Filipe Luis, Mikel, Oscar, Cuadrado, Brown
