Chelsea and QPR are poised to make impassioned pleas to their supporters ahead of the FA Cup clash.

Both clubs are considering posting messages on their websites asking fans to behave, while the Metropolitan Police and Football Association will make their own moves to ensure the clash does not turn into something more sinister, says the Daily Mail.

Given the match was only confirmed on Tuesday night after QPR's third-round replay win over MK Dons, discussions over security are at an early stage.
