West Ham United captain Mark Noble is looking forward to playing at London Stadium once again and hopes the fans will generate another special atmosphere against Stoke.
Noble believes the team produced one of their best performances of the season in the last home game to record a memorable win over Chelsea in the EFL Cup.
The Hammers fans turned out in their thousands once again and saw Cheikhou Kouyate and Edimilson Fernandes score the goals to help them set up a quarter final showdown with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Despite the disappointing defeat against Everton last weekend which ended the Hammers four match unbeaten run, Noble is convinced the team can get straight back on the winning trail and build on recent home victories against Sunderland and Chelsea.
Noble said: “We have made the big move into London Stadium and it was going to take time to get used to our new surroundings, but the victory over Chelsea has really made it feel like home and I am really pleased about that.
“We have beaten Bournemouth, Sunderland and Chelsea at home and have not really struggled despite what some reports have said. We have to deal with that and hopefully get another victory against Stoke.
“We were getting hammered a month ago for the way we were defending and should other things change.
“We then produced a fantastic performance against Chelsea and it was a fantastic evening with great support. We didn't really get recognised for that.
“Hopefully that will change against Stoke, but we know it will be another tough encounter as Stoke have won their last three Premier League games.”
Noble has enjoyed playing in a new wing-back system and feels it has played a major part in helping the team turn their season around.
Noble added: “Slaven has changed the system in recent games and I am really enjoying it.
“Changing to three at the back and players like Pedro and Edimilson coming into the team has been a major bonus and the teams looks better for it.
“We look a lot more solid and it has given us the foundation to go on and win games.”
