Everton FC skipper Phil Neville is looking forward to facing Preston North End tomorrow.
North End scored a fine pre-season result on Wednesday night beating Premier League outfit Blackburn Rovers 3-0 and Neville expects a tough contest.
He said: “Preston had a good result the other night so it’s going to be a good test for us.
“Because it’s on our doorstep it’s great for the Everton fans, it’s great for Preston, it’s a really nicely developed new stadium and the pitch is always fantastic.
“In the past few years they’ve always been good games with four or five thousand Evertonians there so it means that we have to perform.
“It will be a good test of where we are at in terms of our fitness and it will be a nice chance for the fans to get a glimpse of us on English soil.”
