QPR boss Neil Warnock expects a major test against Swansea City.
Warnock tipped the Welsh outfit for play-off success last season and is delighted to see them flourishing in the top flight.
"I remember speaking to him during one of his downs and I hope to think he took on board what I was saying.
"I like Brendan and I think he has got a lot going for him. He doesn't change his principles and they are lovely on the eye.
"It is difficult when you go down there because you know you're not going to get more than 40% of the ball.
"They have more possession than every team - including the top teams - but it is a game that I enjoy.
"You have to be prepared and that is what we will be.""I am pleased for [Swans manager] Brendan Rodgers," the Rs boss said. "He has not had it all his own way, with many ups and downs.
