QPR's Austin gunning for Chelsea as relegation battle heats up

QPR star forward Charlie Austin has said that he is looking forward to the derby fixture against league leaders Chelsea at Loftus Road on Sunday.

The 17-goal striker also expressed his disappointment after coming back from Aston Villa only with a solitary point.

QPR drew with Aston Villa 3-3 on Tuesday night and are still languishing in the relegation zone.

"Yeah it will have been a good game for the neutral," Austin said after scoring in the exciting impasse.

"We are disappointed not to come away with three points. We worked as hard as we could but Christian Benteke had put one over the wall and in off the post and there is not much you can do.

"The table does not lie but we have a big game coming up against Chelsea and we take our second-half performance today into that game. We are scoring goals we are home and it a derby, we are looking forward to it."
