Romelu Lukaku v Laurent Koscielny
This is set to be one of, if not the, key battle in Saturday’s cup quarter-final, with the giant Belgium international going up against the home side’s outstanding and pacy France international.
For the Merseysiders, they will simply just be relieved to have the on-loan Chelsea attacker back playing again after the nasty-looking ankle injury that Lukaku picked up in the Merseyside derby at Anfield in January.
And with the youngster also having wasted little time getting back in the goals again with his late winner against West Ham United in the Premier League last Saturday at Goodison Park, then the Gunners centre back knows only too well just what an uncomfortable afternoon that both he and his fellow defenders are in store for this weekend.
