Chelsea have scored exactly 99 goals in all competitions this season.
Charlie Austin has been involved in 55% of QPR`s 38 goals this season (17 goals, four assists).
QPR have found the back of the net in eight of Chris Ramsey`s nine games in charge, only failing to score in his opening match vs Southampton.
The R`s have scored as many goals in their last two games (7) as they did in Ramsey`s previous seven as manager of QPR.
Chelsea have won seven and lost none of their last 10 Premier League matches, and have scored in each of their last 17.
QPR`s last three wins against Chelsea at Loftus Road (1990, 1995 & 2011) have all been by a single goal to nil, with Roy Wegerle (penalty), Kevin Gallen and Heider Helguson (penalty) getting on the scoresheet respectively.
QPR’s Matt Phillips has now been involved in nine goals (two goals & seven assists) in his last eight PL appearances.
