Fixture: QPR vs Chelsea
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 13:30 (UK time)
Chelsea have announced their starting eleven and substitutes to lock horns with Chris Ramsey's QPR this afternoon at Loftus Road in a Premier League clash.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho has selected veteran striker Didier Drogba to lead the line in the absence of Diego Costa, with the Ivorian looking towards Eden Hazard and Willian to provide him with service. Cesc Fabregas will also look to get forward from midfield to trouble the R's defence.
On the bench Mourinho can turn to Juan Cuadrado and Oscar if he needs to look to introduce more creativity into his team today at Loftus Road. Kurt Zouma is also on the bench, along with Filipe Luis, in two other defensive options for the Portuguese, should they be required.
Victory for Chelsea at Loftus Road would send them seven points clear at the top of the Premier League, following Arsenal cutting the gap to just four points by winning at Burnley yesterday.
Chelsea Team vs QPR
Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Ramires, Willian, Hazard; Drogba
Substitutes: Cech, Zouma, Filipe Luis, Mikel, Oscar, Cuadrado, Brown
