We mentioned earlier that Charlie Austin and John Terry were having a bit of a battle in the first half. Referee Andre Marriner has to separate the pair after Terry thought Austin left his foot in when trying to challenge goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. One to monitor. No cards shown to either player.

Early chance for QPR at the start of the second half. Matt Phillips fools Cesar Azpilicueta with a couple of stepovers before swinging in a delightful left-footed cross from the right wing. The ball just eludes Bobby Zamora, who didn't really go all out to reach it when any touch from the striker would have surely led to an opening goal.

Ed Snowdon: Zouma is surely coming on second half. Lacking a grip on this match.

Pablo de Roman: I think the most exciting part about this game is the potential sub of young striker Izzy Brown. He'll be better than Charlie Austin.

Tom Wilkinson: They didn't produce performances like this for Harry Redknapp because Harry Redknapp is rubbish.

Wakey, wakey. Time to go again. Chelsea central defender Kurt Zouma has been warming up during the break, but does not see any action just yet. He remains on the bench as the players kick-off for the second half.

Alfred Paapa Darkwah: Very boring first half. This is not a reflection of the perceived importance of this game. Quality is very disappointing.

Max Downton: Combative and direct from QPR and pretty average from Chelsea. Smallest number of players used is catching up to us; lethargic.

Sho: Should have taken a nap. Dull.

"Manchester United have 11 points more than at the same stage a year ago, while City have mustered nine fewer.

"Will Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini finally bow to pressure and change from his preferred 4-4-2 (mainly 4-2-4) to deal with United's in-form midfield?

"City striker Sergio Aguero, like United boss Louis Van Gaal, believes the Premier League title can still be won. But Aguero's lack of a goal in the last five league games is one reason why City surely won't win it."

Don't forget, and how could you, that we have the Manchester derby coming up later on. That match starts at 16:00 so we will be getting team news from Old Trafford in the next 35 minutes.

England and Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton is already at Old Trafford. With fans desperate to get a 'selfie' with him.

So, if it remains 0-0 at Loftus Road, this would be the top of the Premier League. Chelsea would be five points clear of Arsenal with a game in hand.

And this would be the bottom of the table. QPR would stay 18th, but inch a point closer to Hull in 17th.

Mathew Brown: This match is like getting excited about going to Greggs, ordering a steak bake only then realising it's ice cold.

Rishabh Kapoor: All the neutrals gunning for QPR. they have a unique chance to make the title race interesting. Go Charlie Austin!

Thomas Goodchild: This isn't a derby. And it's really lacking any quality. Very dull.

Former Charlton midfielder Paul Mortimer: "It's been a great half for QPR, they've worked really hard. I bet Harry Redknapp will be thinking why they couldn't produce performances like this every week when he was in charge.

"If they'd have done that they would be in mid-table now. The question is can they do this for another 45 minutes? Chelsea will improve and Jose Mourinho will be looking for more runners after the break and stretch the home side's defence more."

"It's been highly charged, highly competitive and highly paced but with little chances."

And that's the first half over.

Chelsea nearly went behind a minute ago, and have just had a good chance to go ahead. But Cesc Fabregas heads over from Branislav Ivanovic's cross that Didier Drogba had missed. The ball bounced just a bit too high for Fabregas to keep his header down.

We shamed the players by saying they had not had a shot on target, and finally, a goalkeeper has a save to make. And what a save it is. After a long ball forward Bobby Zamora's knockdown finds Charlie Austin. The striker has space to turn and drills an effort at goal. Thibaut Courtois pushes it wide. Fine save from the big man.

Former Charlton midfielder Paul Mortimer: "The fans are playing their part and really whipping up an atmosphere. QPR's players have responded. How many saves has Rob Green had to make? But Chelsea can be a lot better and that's the worry for the home side."

We were expecting a few goals today. So far, 43 minutes in, we have not had a shot on target. From either side. Sorry.

Rich: No parked bus, but certainly workmanlike from Chelsea.

Jordan Mundy-Gill: I'm still yet to be convinced that Terry and Cahill are a good partnership.

Ejikeme Ike IkeChi: This is going to be a tense encounter like I predicted before the match. But still I still expect Chelsea to nick this one.

What more do Terry and Cahill have to do to convince you Jordan?

Charlie Austin pushes John Terry to the ground. It gets a big cheer from the home fans, but brings no action from referee Andre Marriner. Carry on. Nothing to see.

QPR's Sandro, unmarked at the near post, heads over from a Matt Phillips corner. Good spell this for the hosts. The midfielder probably should have hit the target.

David McQueen: Yeah. I'd probably be jealous of the team in second with no trophies this season if I was Cesc Fabregas...NOT!

Tor Noppharat: Chelsea really needs to get ball down onto the ground.

Immys: If QPR were to score first, we could see lot of Chelsea players suspended for the Manchester United game next week.
