More From Pre-Season
David Moyes believes weekend opponents Norwich are destined for big things.
The Carrow Road outfit returned to the Championship after winning League One last season - despite losing their first game 7-1.
After that hammering, current boss Paul Lambert (who actually masterminded that 7-1 win while at Colchester) took over and Moyes believes the Canaries could be on the way back to the big time.

"It is a really good football club," the manager told evertontv in an exclusive interview. "They have great support and they certainly wouldn't be out of place in the Premier League. They have been there before and Paul Lambert is doing a great job.
"If they continue to rise, I'm sure they will be back in the Premier League."
Moyes knows Lambert well and is convinced his fellow Scot will send out a side well equipped to test the Toffees.
"I do know Paul quite well," added Moyes. "He was a good player, and of course he won a European Cup medal with Borussia Dortmund.
"It is pre-season so we want the games as tough as we can get them," declared the Goodison chief. "We have done well in the other games so I hope it's tough.
"It doesn't matter what the results are, if we lose we get worried but if we win we say it doesn't matter, it's better winning but what really counts is starting the season well."

Getting that winning mentality in pre-season is as important as gaining maximum fitness. It keeps fans happy, and it makes the hard work worthwhile. Get fit guys, but let's play well and play to win.
