West Ham United VS Queens Park Rangers (QPR)

West Ham welcome QPR in the FA Cup with both sides arriving from very different league environments. West Ham’s recent form has been fragile, with four defeats in their last five matches across league play. The Hammers have conceded at least two goals in four of those games, including losses against Nottingham Forest and Wolves where defensive gaps were repeatedly exposed. At home, the picture remains unsettled. West Ham drew 2-2 with Brighton but followed that with a 0-1 defeat to Fulham, showing difficulty controlling matches even when on the front foot. Goals have not been absent, but clean sheets have, with the Hammers conceding nine times across the last five fixtures.
