Norwich vs Everton - 5 Key Battles

4. Pienaar vs Martin

Steven Pienaar has been outstanding for Everton since returning to Goodison after an uneventful time with Tottenham Hotspur. On the Toffees left wing he has built a telepathic relationship with left back Leighton Baines which is a fearful prospect for any right back. Russel Martin, who has been capped 6 times for Scotland, will not be relishing the challenge with playing against Pienaar who could cause Martin some trouble with his movement of the wing. Plus if no help is forthcoming to Martin then he could find himself over run from Baines overlapping. If Pienaar does play to his ability then Martin will have his work cut out and will struggle to stop Pienaar supplying the Everton frontmen, although if the Canaries get back and help out Russel Martin then it could be a good day for Norwich.
