Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck expecting "tough" Queens Park Rangers test

Danny Welbeck has admitted that Queens Park Rangers will be "tough" opponents for Arsenal at Loftus Road tonight.

The Gunners are currently fighting for a top-four finish in the Premier League, while the R's are battling for survival at the other end of the table.

Despite just one win in nine games for QPR, Welbeck is expecting a difficult match against the strugglers.

"We know it's going to be tough," he told Arsenal's official website. "QPR are going to come out at us and try to get the points that they need to stay in the Premier League but we're still third in the Premier League and that's something we want to build on to get further up."

Arsenal head to QPR having beaten Everton 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium at the weekend.
