Mark Noble hails West Ham’s pre-season ahead of Premier League opener

Mark Noble has hailed West Ham’s pre-season campaign as successful and says he hopes the Hammers can take their good form into their Premier League opener on Sunday.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side face a huge test this weekend when they travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool.

The Reds are among the favourites to lift the Premier League title this season following an extremely busy summer, however Noble believes his side have what to takes to cause an upset, especially after such a positive pre-season.

“Do you know what? It’s actually been really enjoyable!” he confirmed speaking of the club’s summer, “I’ve enjoyed the training sessions, I’ve enjoyed the games and, even though we’ve been away for nearly three weeks in total, it’s been enjoyable around the hotel and we’ve had a laugh.



“But, as everybody knows, the only thing that makes seasons enjoyable are wins. We’ve been dealt a tough blow with obviously losing Manu [Lanzini] and then getting Liverpool away in the first game of the season, because you just hope for a home game with all your fans behind you and to go out there and get the three points.

“We’ll just have to do it the hard way at Liverpool.”
