Queens Park Rangers skipper Joey Barton has insisted that he "can't wait" to face Manchester City on Sunday.

Barton, 29, travels to his former club at the weekend needing a point to secure Premier League survival for the R's.

City, meanwhile, enter the match knowing that a victory would all but secure them the Premier League title, and Barton has promised City a tough match.

"I can't wait to go to Man City. They expect us to turn up and them to probably stuff us and go on and win the league. If that is their attitude they will get a reality check," Barton told The Sun.

The Premier League clash will be shown live on Sky Sports 1.
