Everton are good enough to win the UEFA Cup this season, says manager Dave Moyes.

Everton are set to face SK Brann this week and Moyes insists: "We have the squad to win the UEFA Cup and qualify for the Champions League. I do not see it as a choice, nobody can pick the one they want.

"But our squad is good enough. We have coped recently with a lot of players missing and we are still in fourth spot in the league.

"We will be missing more for this game, but that is how it has been for the past few weeks. But we have coped.

"Injuries, suspensions and the African Nations Cup have stretched us.

"Now I hope we can cope with the remaining 12 Premier League games with all our players coming back, and another half dozen in the UEFA Cup. It is not beyond us."

Everton will have massive backing in the 17,000-capacity Brann stadium, with flights to Norway packed with Toffees fans.

And Moyes believes his side can deliver for them.

He said: "After the season we have had in the Premier League, the key now is to stay in the UEFA Cup.

"We need to kick on, we have won all our group matches and now we have two legs against Brann, so we must concentrate fully to get into the last 16.

"I don't read too much into the fact that they have not played a league game since November. The hardest thing for us was to make sure we had them watched.

"They have been in La Manga for a few weeks, they have played two games out in Spain and we have had those matches watched.

"We have seen DVDs of their previous UEFA Cup matches, and we have done all we can to make sure we find out about a team who are out of season.

"Does their lack of competitive matches have any effect? I don't know, even if it did worry me it is hard to judge how they will be, so we must concentrate on ourselves and we are really in top fitness and good form."
