QPR vs. Chelsea
This EPL game is a huge West London derby clash, which has intensified over the past year – mainly due to the John Terry/Anton Ferdinand saga.
Last season, when Chelsea went on the road to QPR, they lost 1-0. However, they did have a player sent off. Even after Chelsea had a player sent off, they were all over QPR, and just could not snatch an equaliser. When the two sides met next at Chelsea, there was only one team who was going to come away with the three points. Chelsea dominated right from the whistle, with Daniel Sturridge getting Chelsea off the mark within the first minute. After leading 4-0 at half time, Chelsea finished the match 6-1 winners, with Fernando Torres even bagging a hat trick.
Although QPR have signed almost another teams worth of players this season, they are still yet to win a match to date. Compare this to Chelsea, whom have bought a handful of young, talented signings, who have helped Chelsea win the first three games of the season, and keep their 100% record so far.
With Chelsea’s new attacking style, and the way they played QPR in both games last season, I can only see Chelsea scoring a fair few goals today. Furthermore, Chelsea have two clean sheets from three games in the EPL so far, whereas QPR have conceded nine goals in their three games. Back Chelsea to win away at QPR today.
