Crystal Palace vs Everton - 5 Key Battles

4. Yannick Bolasie vs Séamus Coleman

Injury has so far prevented Yannick Bolasie from making an impact in the Premier League. His two substitute appearances against Arsenal and West Brom have not given him time to prove his undoubted talent at the highest level, although he looked lively whilst his team where on the front-foot in the game versus Arsenal. It is Bolasie's skill and flair which has made him such a popular figure at Selhurst Park and something Palace have been lacking so far this season. Their were even whispers from a few Palace fans that Bolasie has more talent than now Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha. Although his attacking prowess will be a boost to Palace, he will have to work harder defensively if he is to be a success in the Premier League. Similar to Leighton Baines on the other side of the park, Séamus Coleman is know for bombing up a down (in this case) the right-hand side. With a goal and an assist already this season Coleman has established himself as quite an attacking threat. However, although proving himself to be very capable defensively, like Baines again he can have occasional lapses and with Bolasie's talent it could be fatal for Everton. It is hard to judge this one - Bolasie talent is quite unknown in the Premier League it his work-rate which will win or lose this battle.
