What channel is West Ham v QPR Championship match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
West Ham United host QPR on Friday night as Championship action returns following the international break, with the Hammers looking to go top of the league.
Nuno Espírito Santo's side are seeking an instant return to the Premier League after suffering relegation last time out and you'd be brave to back against them this season.
West Ham, who played out a 2-2 draw at arch rivals Millwall before the international break, have won four of their last five to leave them second in the Championship.
The Hammers, who are the heavy favourites to win the Championship, are just two points behind league leaders Swansea, so Espírito Santo's men can return to the summit with a win in east London.
QPR, meanwhile, last played in the Premier League in 2015 but they haven't finished higher than ninth in the last 11 Championship campaigns.
Julien Stéphan's side currently find themselves sixth in the table after going unbeaten in seven of their eight outings (won three, drawn four) and a positive result on Friday night will have QPR believing they can sneak into the top eight this season to land a play-off spot.
