West Ham host Queens Park Rangers in a bid to offer some respite from a disappointing Premier League campaign. The Hammers are in danger of being relegated to the Championship, where they could join their FA Cup third-round opponents, and head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is under pressure at the London Stadium.

He will see the tie as an opportunity to find some form and there would be little surprise if a full-strength team is named. West Ham are without a win in 10 games, and QPR will fancy their chances at a first win away to their rivals in more than two decades, on their first visit to the new stadium.

The London derby between West Ham and QPT is set for Sunday, 11 January 2026. The match will commence at 2.30pm at the London Stadium, marking the first FA Cup encounter between the two sides since 1995.
