QPR lost to West Ham a week ago in the FA Cup and cannot seem to stop reminding their fans about it.

An under-pressure Nuno Espirito Santo desperately needed a win against the Championship side at the London Stadium.

While it was far from smooth sailing, West Ham beat QPR 2-1 and managed to book a spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Out of 10, how CONFIDENT are you that Nuno can still save West Ham?

QPR brag about performance stats despite losing to West Ham

QPR, via their X account, shared stats from the game against the Hammers on Thursday, days after losing to them.

Had they secured a famous win against a top-flight side, it would have been something to talk about for days.

How much confidence does the win over QPR give you heading into Spurs? 👀

Oh, how sweet it would be to start to turn things around against them 😍

However, the fact that they lost and were knocked out of the cup makes it embarrassing that they would still want to post about it and want their fans to discuss the result.

They shared that their players had covered more distance than West Ham, achieved a higher running speed and also covered the most distance via sprints.

A few days earlier, they also posted footage of the saves from the game, even though their side got knocked out of the competition.

What changes can Nuno make against Tottenham?

Mateus Fernandes missed the QPR game due to injury, and he was a big miss for the Hammers.

Given how he has impacted the side since his summer move from Southampton, the Portuguese midfielder has been among the first names on the team sheet.

It’s understood that Fernandes should be available against Tottenham, and there is a good chance he returns to the starting eleven.

Konstantinos Mavropanos is not likely to be available, so Fernandes could come in for him, with the Hammers moving to a back four again.

Apart from that, the rest of the team pretty much picks itself with El Hadji Malick Diouf still on international duty as Senegal have made it to the final of the AFCON.

They will take on Morocco on 18 January, so the left-back should be available following the Spurs game.

It remains to be seen if Nuno can galvanise his side into getting something against their arch rivals.
