Defender Matt Connolly is looking forward to another mouthwatering Carling Cup tie when QPR head to Chelsea later this month.

Rangers will travel to Stamford Bridge to meet their illustrious west London neighbours in the third round on Wednesday September 23.

The Hoops have enjoyed their fair share of glamorous cup draws recently having been narrowly beaten by Chelsea in the FA Cup two seasons ago and meeting Aston Villa and Manchester United in the Carling Cup last term.

"We played at Villa Park and Old Trafford last season, which are massive stadiums, and they have world-class players to play against," said Connolly.

"You want to test yourself at the highest level. It was a great experience and we want more of the same."
