Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira is delighted with their new-look attack.
Palace new boy Odsonne Edouard replaced Christian Benteke late on last Saturday and scored twice to seal a 3-0 win over Tottenham.
But Vieira praised both his strikers as Benteke prepares to face his former club Liverpool this weekend.
“It was a really good start [for Edouard]," said Vieira. "Coming on and scoring two goals is really good for confidence. There's nothing better than scoring two on your debut. But it's a process, a team, and I'm really happy with the forwards we have. I don't want to take away the hard work from Christian in the first 80 minutes.
“I believe both players can play together and they both love the number nine position. Edouard can play as a winger and between the lines, this is what he used to do and he did it a couple of times when younger in France.
“I was really happy with the way Christian performed during the 80 minutes. There's still time to make a decision [for this Saturday] and I will make the final one tomorrow morning."
