Sports Mole previews Saturday's late kickoff in the Premier League between Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City welcome Queens Park Rangers to the Etihad Stadium 111 days after beating them 3-2 to win the Premier League title.

Roberto Mancini will be without Sergio Aguero, the hero on that famous day, who was stretchered off with a knee injury just minutes into their opening game against Southampton.

Micah Richards (foot) and Gareth Barry (hernia) are also missing from action.

Meanwhile, the R's - fresh from a 3-0 win over Walsall in the League Cup - have no injury concerns.

Julio Cesar should make his debut between the sticks for Mark Hughes's men.

Current form:
Man City:
WD
QPR: LD

Possible lineups:

Man City: Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy; Toure, Rodwell, Silva, Nasri, Milner; Tevez

Queens Park Rangers: Cesar; Diakite, Bosingwa, Ferdinand, Onuoha; Park, Mackie, Derry, Hoilett; Cisse, Zamora

Sports Mole says: 3-0
