Seamus Coleman is one of the most experienced defenders in the Premier League. The Republic of Ireland captain has been with The Toffees since 2009, and till date he is a reliable member of the squad.

During March 2017, Coleman suffered a fractured tibia after a dangerous challenge by Neil Taylor while on international duty. However, he has recovered, and is now a regular starter under Marco Silva.
Coleman would be up against Sadio Mane who has been in tremendous form this season. Earlier in the campaign, when Salah was struggling to score, Mane banged in goal after goal, and kept Liverpool in touching distance of Manchester City. Moreover, with his pace and power, he can give any defense a run for its money.
Mane is often the man who comes up with the goods when the chips are down. The Everton right-back would have to be at his very best to stand any chance of stopping the Senegalese from performing at his best.

About the author
Suman Dey
A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.
Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.
Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.
I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
