Rowlands excited by Chelsea tie

QPR skipper Martin Rowlands is relishing another mouthwatering cup tie after the Hoops were drawn at west London neighbours Chelsea in the Carling Cup. Rangers will travel to Stamford Bridge next month for the third-round clash, having enjoyed some decent draws in recent years. "I`m absolutely delighted with the draw. We`ve been really fortunate over the last couple of years," said Rowlands. "We had Chelsea away in the FA Cup in 2008, and last season we were away to Aston Villa and Manchester United in the Carling Cup. We can`t complain, can we? "We`ve got nothing to be afraid of. We lost narrowly there in the FA Cup and I firmly believe the squad we have now is stronger than the one we took to the Bridge last time. "Obviously it is going to be a very tough match for us, but we`ll go there with confidence."
