Bolasie ready to fight for Toffees against Red Devils

Yannick Bolasie says Everton are ready to put up a fight as they prepare to take on Manchester United at Goodison Park, on Sunday.

After a magnificent start to the season Everton have started to struggle in recent weeks, with only one win in their last eight Premier League games and a 1-0 loss to Southampton last time out.

However, they still lie eighth in the table and victory on Sunday would see them leapfrog United in the standings.

The Toffees have lost four of their previous five matches against the Red Devils and while Bolasie is not expecting an easy clash, the winger is prepared for the battle.

“Everton against Manchester United, it’s always been a big game, especially at Goodison and I’m sure the fans are going to be up for it,” said Bolasie.

“But us boys have got to be equal and ready to stand up and put in a hard effort.
“Last week [against Southampton], we had some opportunities and I had a couple myself.

“One was unlucky and on another day it probably goes in. When we came into the game we started applying pressure, it’s just disappointing that we don’t play like that from the off.

“The results haven’t gone the way we’d have wanted the last couple and it’s up to us boys to put it right.

“We’ve got another tough game coming up on Sunday now and in front of our home crowd, we’re going to have to put up a fight.”
