Noble scored a goal late in extra time giving West Ham a 2-0 victory over Cardiff on Saturday.

Noble was named man of the match after nabbing his second goal of the season. The Englishman doesn't get involved on the attack regularly enough to warrant much fantasy consideration.

Noble, who is recovering from a calf injury, could be available to face Manchester City in a Capital One Cup match Wednesday, the Daily Mail reports.

Noble suffered his injury during West Ham's match against Fulham on New Year's Day, but looks set to return in a game that promises to have plenty of scoring. That being said, the Hammers aren't likely to be the ones putting lots of goals on the scoreboard.

Noble netted a penalty in the 76th minute before being sent off in West Ham's 2-3 loss to Everton on Saturday.

Noble put the Hammers back in front from the spot in the 76th minute before he was booked for the second time and sent off. To further Noble's woes, Leighton Baines converted the free kick to equalize and change the momentum of the match.

Noble assisted on Kevin Nolan's goal with 15 minutes remaining in West Ham's 2-0 win over Cardiff City on Saturday.

Noble doesn't often find himself on the score sheet but provided a solid performance in the Hammers' opening fixture of the season.

Noble took a quick free-kick to pass Kevin Nolan the ball inside the right side of the box, and the midfielder let it run almost to the endline before slashing it across goal and into the net. The goal tied the game briefly before Fulham regained the lead en route to a 3-1 win.

Noble's playing very consistently, but hasn't been quite as flashy as Nolan as far as the stat sheet goes.

Noble equalized for West Ham at a 1-1 score line in the 36th minute with a calm take from the spot.

Guy Demel earned the penalty with a shot that hit Joe Allen's arm inside the box, but it was Noble once again who was given the ball to take the kick. The midfielder has proven good when taking the Hammers' penalties, but isn't scoring much beyond that.

Noble scored the opening goal and put away a penalty for West Ham's third in a 4-1 victory against Southhampton.

The midfielder climbed up the West Ham goal chart with this performance today, as the Hammers have the habit of getting goals from all over the field. That said, Noble was a bit lucky today, getting some poor goaltending on his first goal and slotting home the penalty for his second. Great performance on the day, but we'll need to see some consistent points before we recommend him.
