Three Areas West Ham Can Exploit Against QPR at London Stadium

West Ham United host Queens Park Rangers at London Stadium on Friday, October 9, in Championship action. Managed by Nuno Espírito Santo, the Hammers face a sixth-place QPR side under manager Julien Stéphan that has conceded only seven goals in eight matches. The tactical preview highlights specific opportunities for West Ham to exploit during the upcoming fixture.

A key focus is QPR's reshuffled left flank following the suspension of left-back Dennis Cirkin, which could allow Jarrod Bowen and Kyle Walker-Peters to apply pressure. Meanwhile, West Ham must manage their own midfield reshuffle, as Mohamadou Kanté is suspended following recent issues managing direct balls and transitions.
