QPR to score first. Bold new year predication.

about 7-1 after that.

Mata to score a hatrick - 6 - 0 Chelski!!

Chelsea always maul weak teams, can't see anything apart from an absolute hammering for 'Arrys men.

Caveman1

Looking forward to this one, hopefully we give them a good hammering, be good to score a few early on and take some players off early, give the fringe players a run out.

Really hope that QPR stuff them. Its only a hope though.

Dodgy Chelsea Keeper and local derby.
Still think we will win comfortably, Torres to score and then everyone to proclaim he's "back" (again)

a classy man is Harry.

it's amazing how disliked and disrespected Rafa is.

although i think it's more that aul' Harry believes he deserved a shot at the job.

Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp says only "a real dope" would fail as manager of west London rivals Chelsea.

Ahead of Wednesday's game between the sides he said: "You'd have to be a real dope to mess it up with [the likes of] Eden Hazard, Juan Mata, Frank Lampard.

"He [Rafael Benitez] has walked into a squad of players there who are Champions League winners - you've got a chance, haven't you?"

QPR are bottom of the Premier League, while Chelsea are fourth.

Former Liverpool manager Benitez took charge of the European champions in November after Roberto Di Matteo was sacked.

Since he took over, Chelsea have lost only one league game, a 3-1 setback at West Ham United on 1 December, and have won their last four.

"He's a clever guy," said Redknapp of Benitez. "Even in the West Ham game that they lost, they could have been out of sight at half-time."

QPR start 2013 eight points from safety with 18 games remaining.

And while Redknapp, who hopes to strengthen his squad during the January transfer window, has criticised some of his players for failing to give value for money, he remains optimistic about his team's chances of avoiding relegation.

"Since I've been here... I think they were all looking to blame each other for the horrendous start," he said. "But most have been fine and worked hard. "We now need to find that little bit of quality somehow that can make the difference to us."

Rafa seems to have stuck on his thickest skin when he walked into the Chelsea job. Waffle from the Arch-Waffler is just like water off a duck's back.

If QPR play like they did against Liverpool it'll be another 8-0 to Chelsea. That first half performance was the worst I remember seeing by a team in the premier league.

GavRedKing

Should be 2 or 3 up by half time, could be a cricket score come full time.

All that matters is the 3 points and keep up with the teams above us.

MaroonAndGreen

Chelsea to win and keep a clean sheet is evens. Good bet I think.

Chelsea bench: Hilario, Cole, Ferreira, Ramires, Mata, Hazard, Piazon.

Marin starts! - This is a lot of tinkering.

Yep I have Mata and Ba!
Still Mata might score 1 off the bench!

Marin gets a start!

solarith

Very happy to see Marin get a start alright, hope for him he can make some impact. He seems a very genuine, hard working player.

EdenHazard

10-0 chelsea

GavRedKing

Oscar has to be on the top of his game to replace Mata, happy woth Marin and Moses.

Should be comfortable.....should been the key word

Mata will stay chilled out on the bench tonight. Joey o'Brien to come in for me then!

Should be a very easy game for Chelsea going by Chelsea's last home game and QPR's last game.

Well that was a red all day long.

When you see some of the recent very soft red cards given out you have to wonder how that wasn't given.

double GG

Ref letting a lot go in this game.

hots

Nice strength from Ivanovic there and then nice cover from Luiz too...

double GG

Good touch Torres, didn't anticipate that at all there...

Sgt Pepper 64

No sign of an easy game then?

Well no sign of anything to be honest, bar a David Luiz volley which bounced over.

Have money on Chelsea to win both halves. Looking like I have any chance lads?

Not really, no chances at all after 32...

GavRedKing

Very poor so far, controlling the ball but theres not enough quality out there.

I expect Mata to be on very soon.

Sgt Pepper 64

cant find a working stream, are we playing ****e or what?

Knew it wouldnt be easy.
FFS we have to play Mata all the time

Andersonisgod

Not good at all. Like Gav, I'd also expect Mata to be on pretty soon in the second half, he's become such a key player, it seems when he isn't in the game we really struggle.

Red card all day there, he could have snapped his leg in two. Horrible tackle.

homer simpson

What a horrible 45 minutes of football. Queue Mata on for Marin at half time for a 4-0 win for Chelsea....

... I will take a 1-0 win though.
