Chelsea boss AVB hopes football the winner against QPR

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is confident football will be the winner for their FA Cup clash with QPR.

AVB is confident the match will be played in a competitive but controlled manner.

He said: "All the top players have the ability to concentrate fully on the task they have to do in a game.

"I don't think any of this will be a distraction and I won't speak to the players before the game about this specific matter.

"Football is fuelled by emotions and reactions - and you can never get it completely under control.

"But the atmosphere was outstanding the last time we played at Loftus Road and I expect it to be the same this time. The FA Cup is an important and prestigious competition for us and it is a trophy we will be trying to win this season.

"The Premiership is now absolutely impossible for us. I've written that one off for a long time now. The distance at the top is massive and I don't expect the leaders to drop so many points."
