West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble has admitted that he is excited by Wednesday's visit of Hull City to Upton Park in the Premier League.

The Hammers are in need of the points near the bottom of the table following a run of three consecutive defeats in the top flight.

Noble hopes that the team can ease their relegation fears tomorrow by earning a win in front of their loyal fans.

"It's a Wednesday night game and our midweek games are normally good fun under the lights, because the atmosphere really gets going. People finish work and they just want that release, so they come over to West Ham," he told the club's official website.

"The kids have been at school during the day and looking forward to getting over here, so hopefully we can get the points for them."

West Ham's last victory in the league came over a month ago with a 3-1 win at home to Southampton.
