West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble is keen to ensure standards do not slip at the London Stadium.

Declan Rice has told West Ham United’s official website that Mark Noble is often having a go at him in training.

Rice has become an established member of West Ham’s starting line-up in recent years.

However, club captain Noble does not want the youngster to rest on his laurels.

And Rice admits that whenever he makes an error in West Ham training, Noble will not let him get away with it.

“He is always onto me if I make a mistake in training, telling me what I’ve done wrong,” Rice, who is currently away from West Ham with the England squad, said.

“He knows I’ve got the quality to do it right, so he tells me when I’ve done it wrong.

“That’s what is good about Nobes. We’ve got such a great friendship, but on the pitch when I’ve done it wrong, he tells me how to do it right.”

Noble and Rice have formed a solid partnership in West Ham’s midfield, with the pair both playing key roles for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.

The English duo are likely to be in action for the Hammers again at the weekend, when the Premier League returns.

West Ham are set to take on struggling Everton, as they look to build on what has been a fairly positive start to the season.
