Key Players to Watch: QPR vs Stoke City

Richard Kone (QPR) Kone has an amazing story, and so far this season his performances have lived up to that in impressive fashion. Three goals in the four games he has played so far have established him as a danger for any side in the division, and Stoke will have to be on top form to stop Kone from effecting the game.

Koki Saito (QPR) Saito joined QPR and has already made his presence felt putting in some eye catching performances so far. One goals in his two games so far and a 7.38 rating to boot, Saito will no doubt be looking to add to that tally and continue his good start to the season.

Sorba Thomas (Stoke City) Two goals and three assists in five Championship games so far fo the winger who joined this summer from Nantes. Thomas has got an average rating of 7.7 so far this season and will be looking to continue his excellent start to the season against a QPR side who have conceded goals this campaign thus far.

Divin Mubama (Stoke City) Divin Mubama is currently on loan from Manchester City and is really looking to establish himself on the senior footballing stage this season. Mubama so far has two goals in the opening five Championship games he has played and will be desperate to add to that total at the weekend.
