Queens Park Rangers forward Tommy Smith has said that he expects Chelsea to be fully prepared for the atmosphere at Loftus Road this afternoon.
The Hoops were victorious at home over a nine-man Chelsea team earlier this season after both Jose Bosingwa and Didier Drogba were dismissed in the first half. However, Smith admits that he is expecting a different game altogether on this occasion.
"It is a big game for us," he told club's official phone-in show. "We beat them 1-0 in the league earlier in the season so they will be looking for revenge.
"I think Chelsea will be better prepared this time around and will know what the atmosphere is going to be like.
"Maybe that struck them because a lot of their players hadn't played at Loftus Road before and I think it took them by surprise."
Meanwhile, QPR will look to continue their recent unbeaten streak after going ten games without a win in December.
