"I think QPR are going to be one of the teams to beat this campaign," he told the Swansea official website.
"It'll be a great test against one of the big hitters at Championship level.
"They have an experienced manager, good players and financial muscle. I think the direction of that football club is clearly the Premiership but how long it is going to take for them to get there we don't know.
"But they are the sort of side we are going to face at the Liberty Stadium - a very strong team physically, difficult to compete against and one that will come here looking for the three points.
"I think QPR will play the same way they have everywhere that they've been. It's a team that is very hard to beat, they don't concede cheaply and it's one of the sides that you have to be really on top of your game if you want to get anything out of it.
"It's going to be another big occasion for us at the Liberty Stadium and it's going to be a completely different opposition that we had against Ipswich. We need to show that we are ultra dimensional and that we can compete against anyone in this division.
"It's going to be a huge test but one we're really looking forward to.
"At home we have to be ourselves and the fans play a huge part,
"If they can replicate a little bit of the atmosphere we had against Wolves it will give us that extra yard and little bit extra of advantage against anyone you're playing against.
"We want to carry on where we left off against Ipswich (the game ended 2 - 2). We don't play for stats, we play for ourselves and what is important is that I've seen the players getting stronger and getting better in every game which is a great sign."
