Norwich City striker Grant Holt admits they face a "sticky" start for their first game of the season.

Chris Hughton's men have not won a first-day fixture since beating Grimsby 4-0 in the Championship in August 2002.

So they will be hoping for better luck against the Toffees, who they beat 2-1 at home last term thanks to a last-gasp winner from striker Holt.

Good morning people fixtures are out I see got a sticky game first game off the season. #jokes — Grant holt (@Grantholt31) June 19, 2013
