"The Hammers are on a wretched run of form having lost five of their past six matches, leaving Nuno Espirito Santo's team seven points adrift of top-flight safety after 21 league matches. The 2005-06 FA Cup finalists have not won for more than two months and are in need of a bounce after damaging defeats to relegation rivals Wolves and Nottingham Forest."
""We know the difference between the Championship and the Premier League, it's a huge difference," Stephan told BBC Radio London. "And they have some very, very good products - international players, [Lucas] Paqueta, [Jarrod] Bowen and [Tomas] Soucek, for example. They all play with their national team. I don't think we have to consider the position of the table for them."
QPR head coach Julien Stephan emphasizes a huge gap in quality between the Championship and the Premier League and expects West Ham to be QPR's toughest test this season. West Ham have lost five of their last six matches and sit seven points from safety after 21 league games, enduring more than two months without a victory. The Hammers include international players such as Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Tomas Soucek. QPR recently beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 but suffered injuries to Rumarn Burrell, Kwame Poku and Jonathan Varane; Burrell will be out until March. QPR have won four FA Cup matches in 12 seasons and seek their first cup win in four years.
