QPR V Chelsea - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.QPR down on numbersQPR will not welcome back any of their injured players in time to face west London rivals Chelsea on Sunday.Defender Richard Dunne (knee) is close to a return but will not be considered with fellow centre-back Rio Ferdinand also absent for the Barclays Premier League match with a knock.Manager Chris Ramsey may have to look to make changes having played twice in four days but Yun Suk-young (concussion) is still out alongside Eduardo Vargas, Leroy Fer and Alejandro Faurlin (all knee).Ramsey is looking forward to pitting his wits against Jose Mourinho for the first time and has backed himself to come out on top against the Chelsea boss.QPR are looking to extend a 19-year unbeaten home league record against the Blues to boost their survival hopes.Chelsea will make the short hop across town knowing a victory will only cement their place as title favourites as Mourinho looks to collect a third crown over his two spells at Stamford Bridge.Sunday will be his first experience of the away dugout at Loftus Road and, whilst Rangers boss Ramsey is amongst the Portuguese's many fans, he believes his side have enough about them to cause an upset."He's been a winner all his career," Ramsey said when asked his opinion of Mourinho."He is brave, courageousI have never seen him work but they tell me he's fantastic on the training field, which shows that he realises that professionals, no matter what level they are at, need a level of focus and they always need to be doing things correctly."He's someone that I admire from the coaching fraternity
You can only respect the man for what he has done, and you can only respect him for how he deals with his critics, and how he bounces back time after time."He's a coach, I'm a coach
He's a man, I'm a man
I think I'm good, he knows he's good
You have to be confident in yourself." Chelsea will be without striker Diego Costa with a recurrence of a hamstring injury suffered in last weekend's defeat of Stoke."We have eight matches to play, if he plays four it's normal," Mourinho said."If he plays three it's a little bit below what I'm expecting
If he plays five it's more than I'm expecting."Costa will miss the matches with QPR, Manchester United and, probably, Arsenal and Leicester, with Didier Drogba or Loic Remy poised to come in at Loftus Road.John Obi Mikel is available following a knee injury and Cesc Fabregas will play with a mask to protect his broken nose despite being one yellow card away from a suspension.Nemanja Matic is also one booking away from a ban, with this Sunday the cut-off date, but Mourinho insists he will field the influential pair in the derby.Manchester City's loss at Crystal Palace on Monday night means Chelsea have a seven-point lead entering this weekend's fixtures, with the target for an unassailable lead less than it was after last Saturday's defeat of Stoke."Now it's just five victories or four victories and two draws," Mourinho added."Any points we do against QPR our situation improves, but we need points."Every team with less than 21 points distance to us mathematically is in the race."
