QPR captain Joey Barton has warned Chelsea this weekend's derby will not be run-of-the-mill.
The hostility is very much one-way from QPR's direction toward their more successful neighbours.
Barton told the London Evening Standard: "It is probably more of a derby for us than them, they have bigger fish to fry.
"They have the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal on their minds because that's the kind of company they keep. But for us it's huge because of the predicament we're in.
"They are champions elect, but we saw what can happen with Crystal Palace the other night against Manchester City.
"Chelsea have a healthy lead at the top of the table. If they fancy giving us three points we'll gladly take them."
