Noble looks forward to Palace – plus teams

West Ham captain Mark Noble – speaking to www.whufc.com – said: “I would like to think we can continue this good away run. It is going to be tough today and we know how well Crystal Palace are playing. But we have got a good side and are looking forward to the game.

“It is a great atmosphere every time we play here and Pards has done a fantastic job with the team. He has put a really good squad together and they are playing well so it is going to be tough for us. But we are looking forward to it.

“We have looked impressive with our counter-attacking but we need to defend properly first and then hopefully we can go up the other end and create chances with the flair players we have got.”
