THE Rs
After the comfortable trip to Spain, I expect us to pick a slightly different team and continue with our rotation policy. I feel Nasri or Adam Johnson will start this afternoon with Aguero, Dzeko and Silva up front, with Barry and Yaya toure behind in midfield. We're missing Kompany this afternoon, but after his performance on Wednesday I feel Savic deserves a starting place.
We're good enough to win this afternoon, and if QPR struggled to deal with Spurs' midfield last weekend I don't see how they're going to cope that well with ours. On their day, Barry and Yaya can be the best midfield pairing in the league, and are probably (on paper) the type of players Chelsea and Manchester United are missing.
QPR's home form has been a tad mixed this season, but their win against Chelsea will give them a huge boost in confidence going into this game. We're likely not to get as annoyed as Chelsea did but QPR will be wanting to make a "we're here to stay" statement this afternoon.
Old City favourites Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joey Barton will be wanting to show Roberto Mancini and Manchester City how much they've progressed as players since their departures, so expect a lively showing from those two.
I think we'll win 3-0. We're due another cleansheet and away to a side that took a little bit of a knock in confidence after their loss to Spurs, this could be the ideal game to continue our fine start to the season.
Possible 11:
Hart; Richards, Savic, Lescott, Clichy; Barry, Yaya Toure; Silva, A Johnson, Aguero, Dzeko.
Bench:Pantilimon; Kolarov, Zabaleta; Milner, de Jong, Nasri; Balotelli
