Norwich City manager Paul Lambert is looking forward to welcoming Newcastle United to Carrow Road on Saturday.

Last season's League One champions take on the Championship victors in a mouth-watering pre-season friendly and Lambert wants to see how his current crop of players get on against the impressive Magpies.

"This really is a great fixture for us to have - Newcastle are a huge club with a great fanbase and they enjoyed a terrific season last time out as they returned to the Premier League at the first time of asking," Lambert told the club's official website.

"When you look at what Newcastle achieved at Championship level last season, this really is going to be a great test for us.

"Chris has done a fantastic job at St James' Park, regardless of the division you are in, if you want to achieve something you have to go out and win games week-in, week-out and that is never easy."
