Overview
- The Championship fixture kicks off at 8pm BST on Friday at the London Stadium and will be shown live on Sky Sports.
- West Ham sit second in the table and lead the division in goals, having scored 22 in eight league games during a recent unbeaten run.
- Jarrod Bowen has been central to West Ham’s attack this season with the most goal involvements in the division, and he is expected to start and carry the team’s scoring threat.
- Both clubs face availability issues that could shape starting lineups: West Ham have a suspension for Mohamadou Kante and doubts over Joel Veltman plus other injuries, while QPR have multiple doubts, Dennis Cirkin suspended, and Glen Kamara’s participation unresolved.
- Pre-match markets and previews make West Ham favourites and predict a high-scoring match, with published predicted lineups reflecting the late fitness and international-break uncertainties.
