West Ham United midfielder Joe Cole is eagerly anticipating the start of his side's Premier League campaign against Cardiff City.
The 31-year-old returned to Upton Park in January and made 11 appearances for the Hammers in the second half the last campaign.
He told the club's official website: "You get excited every year at this stage and everyone wants to do well.
"We have got Cardiff at home which everyone says is a good game for West Ham, but on the other hand they have got promoted into the top flight for the first time in years and it will be a tough fixture.
"We want to get a result in that game. We know it will be a tough game."
West Ham prepared for their season opener with a win over Eintracht Braunschweig on Saturday.
