Luigi De Canio feels 'lucky' and 'honoured' to be taking a QPR side to Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup, third round.

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk this morning, the Rangers gaffer expressed his delight at the draw, commenting: "I feel very lucky and honoured to be in the position to take us to Chelsea in the FA Cup.

"You can be waiting a very long time in your life for a derby like this and we will relish it.

"I have waited for this opportunity and I am looking forward to it very much.

"I hope we can give the fans a beautiful, memorable day and the most satisfaction possible."

Under the terms of his loan deal, Chelsea loanee Michael Mancienne will not feature in the third round clash.
