Manchester United v Everton FC - Premier League

Despite what people say about the Frenchman not influencing games at United, Pogba has done better than average in the league, if the stats are to be believed. Pogba has 700 passes to his name - 10th in the league, and 928 touches on the ball, which is 8th in the league. He has attempted 36 shots, which is 5th in the league and most among the midfielders. He also has 20 shots on target, which is the highest in the league. Paul Pogba has been involved this season but has been let down by concentration and consistency.

The Frenchman has gone missing at times in games, and his form has also been affected by the inconsistencies of the players around him. When on song, Pogba has been brilliant and has been the instigator of United's fight back in recent matches. So far, he has scored 5 goals and registered 4 assists from 15 games in all competitions this season. He just needs to assert his influence in games, although a little helping hand from his compatriots would not be too bad.

Against City, Pogba can turn things around by himself and one only has to look at this fixture from last season to know how influential the Frenchman can be.
