Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew loves working with Yohan Cabaye.

Cabaye was again superb for victory over West Brom.

Pardew said: "He is one of the top players I've had in terms of trust in how the game is evolving.

"He can smell what to do at the right time and it's very important for a manager to have a talent like that. Roy Keane at Manchester United, I'm sure Fergie could look at him and know when to push the team forward or sit in.

"In those moments, it's very important to have a lieutenant. Someone like Yohan has a technical ability to dictate the pace of the game and there's not many players that can do that."
