Squad sheets: Queens Park Rangers v Swansea City

Amid the bedlam created by Manchester City's late title triumph last season it was somewhat forgotten that their opponents on the day, Queens Park Rangers, had just avoided relegation. That was some feat for their manager, Mark Hughes, given the tough string of fixtures he faced upon taking the job in January. He will hope to progress in his first full season at the club, starting with a win against a team seeking to confound all expectations for a second successive season, but this time under the charge of Michael Laudrup.
