New Everton manager, Roberto Martinez, will be looking for positive start to his reign. Everton have managed to keep hold of their best players from last season and fans will be hoping that the signing of Wigan striker Arouna Kone will result in more potency upfront when last season no Everton striker managed to get into double figures.
KICK-OFF: Tomorrow, 3p
Norwich came from behind to win this fixture in February, when late goals from Kei Kamara and Grant Holt secured a 2-1 win for the hosts who have not lost to Everton at Carrow Road since 2004.
The tie represents the start of a fresh era for the visitors, as new boss Roberto Martinez prepares to take charge of his first competitive game, following the departure of David Moyes at the end of last season.
It has also been a summer of change for the Canaries with a host of new arrivals, as manager Chris Hughton looks to build on last season's seventh place finish, breaking the club's transfer record to spend £8.5million on Dutch striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon.
Highly-rated youngsters Nathan Redmond and Leroy Fer have also joined, from Birmingham City and FC Twente respectively, while the signings of Gary Hooper, Martin Olsson, Javier Garrido and Carlo Nash will boost Hughton's options.
Martinez himself has been busy in the transfer market, signing three familiar faces in Arouna Kone, Antolin Alcaraz and Joel Robles who all worked under him at Wigan, in addition to the loan capture of Barcelona's 19-year old winger Gerard Deulofeu.
