West Ham enters this match with a desperate need to break a ten game winless streak that has put Nuno Espirito Santo’s job in jeopardy. Despite their poor form in the Premier League, the gap in quality between a top flight squad and a Championship side is usually significant. With star players like Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen expected to start, the Hammers possess the creative spark necessary to break down a QPR defense. Furthermore, West Ham is unbeaten in their last five home games against the Hoops. While their confidence is low, the return of Aaron Wan-Bissaka provides much needed defensive stability. QPR has also historically struggled against Premier League teams while playing in the lower tiers, losing their last 12 such FA Cup ties. Expect the Hammers to narrowly edge this contest to secure their first victory of 2026 and move into the next round.
