On a potential 500th West Ham appearance for midfielder Mark Noble, Hammers boss David Moyes said: "To get 500 games for any club, you have to give him great credit.

"He's been a one-club man and served the club incredibly well, still leading the group and playing very well. We've had some great players here like that - Billy Bonds and Bobby Moore, Trevor Brooking.

"To get 500 games is a great achievement. It's harder to be at a club for that length of time nowadays. He's showed a great level of commitment to this club.

"He's captain, a really important player for us, and I think West Ham should consider themselves lucky to have a really good player and a really good man at the club."
