QPR Are One Of The Teams To Beat

Roberto Martinez believes that Tuesday opponents QPR are one of the teams to beat this season

QPR have been widely fancied to re-take their position in the Premiership.   Heavily backed with multi billionaire owners it has been an inconsistent start from the R's this term and the Swans will look to take advantage of that at the Liberty Stadium tomorrow.

And looking ahead to the game, Roberto told the official site "I think QPR are going to be one of the teams to beat this campaign

"It'll be a great test against one of the big hitters at Championship level.

"They have an experienced manager, good players and financial muscle. I think the direction of that football club is clearly the Premiership but how long it is going to take for them to get there we don't know.

"But they are the sort of side we are going to face at the Liberty Stadium - a very strong team physically, difficult to compete against and one that will come here looking for the three points.

"I think QPR will play the same way they have everywhere that they've been. It's a team that is very hard to beat, they don't concede cheaply and it's one of the sides that you have to be really on top of your game if you want to get anything out of it.

"It's going to be another big occasion for us at the Liberty Stadium and it's going to be a completely different opposition that we had against Ipswich. We need to show that we are ultra dimensional and that we can compete against anyone in this division.

"It's going to be a huge test but one we're really looking forward to."
