Daniel Sturridge first burst on to the scene at Manchester City in 2007/08, but his contract was allowed to expire and he joined Chelsea in January 2010.

Having joined City's Academy in 2003 from Coventry, after previously training with Aston Villa, Sturridge's performances in the Reserves ensured that he made his mark on the First Team after initially struggling with injuries.

Catching the eye of then-manager Mark Hughes, he was voted City's Young Player of the Year in his breakthrough season, but his hopes of making a mark were not helped by sporadic chances to impress.

Ultimately, Sturridge grew tired of life on the sidelines and when his contract expired, he moved to Stamford Bridge.

In January 2010, a tribunal decided that Chelsea must pay Manchester City an initial transfer fee of £3.5million, rising to £6.5million depending on appearances for Club and the senior England team, but it proved a bargain.

After a loan spell with Bolton in 2010/11, Sturridge returned to make himself one of the Blues' most important players and he looks a promising prospect for both Club and country.

Pre-Match Talk:

QPR gaffer, Mark Hughes: "We will look to build on the Wigan result and performance against a very strong Chelsea side. They have consistently challenged at the top end of the Premier League for a number of years and will present a difficult test.

"Winning football matches is always special and when it is against a former Club, there is always an extra element of satisfaction.

"This will be our toughest test in our short time here, but in a cup competition anything can happen. We will take each game as it comes and try to progress as far as we can."

Blues boss, Andre Villas-Boas: "We have a competition to win, one of the most prestigious ones. So we will try to put out the strongest team possible.

"(Gary) Cahill can threaten for a starting position.

"The decision not to play him at Norwich was based only on the fact that there was not enough time (after signing him) for him to accumulate all of the information that we put forward."
