Norwich vs Everton - 5 Key Battles

3. Fellaini vs Johnson

After a summer of much specualtion on the Belgian midfielder's future, he is still at Everton and he will be vital to the their efforts this season. At 6'4 he has a huge height advantage and his goal getting ability from midfield is amazing. With Bradley Johnson likely to anchor the midfield he will have to compete with Fellaini as the Everton player will play just behind the frontman. Also with Martinez's footballing ideals could that mean that Fellaini's height is ont utilised as much as it was last season. This could help Johnson out hugely. Johnson is a consistent performer and will have to work hard contain Fellaini, who is not a one trick pony and can make his impact other than ariely.
