There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the West Ham United boss Nuno Espírito Santo to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Lukasz Fabianski (Back injury) will miss out.

📰 Team News: QPR

QPR manager Julien Stéphan has a number of players out of action. Jake Clarke-Salter (Hip injury) and Ziyad Larkeche (Cruciate ligament injury) are not able to play.

💡 Prediction

Our assessment is that West Ham United have it within them to be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

At the same time, Queens Park Rangers won’t find it easy to get a goal of their own - but, we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet.

We’re tipping a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for West Ham United at the end of this one.
