Tottenham head coach Andre Villas-boas believes that QPR will be nowhere near the relegation zone come May.

Hughes has gone on a lavish spending spree this summer, signing 10 players - some of them top-draw additions like Julio Cesar and Esteban Granero.

With the club having garnered just two points from their opening four games, the early signs are not good for the R’s, but Villas-Boas thinks it is only a matter of time before the new signings settle in and lead the team up the table.

“At the moment QPR’s position in the table does not reflect the team that they can be or where they can finish in the league,” Villas-Boas said.

“This is a team who have brought in tremendous players in the summer window.

“They brought in very important players from all over the world, players who are European champions, players who have had success at international level.

“They will virtually bring another level to the Premier League so it will be a very difficult game on Sunday and we have to be careful.”
