World Cup 2018: 5 players who deserve to start in the England vs Belgium encounter

#3 Michy Batshuayi (in for Romelu Lukaku)

Batshuayi and Lukaku for Belgium

Two matches, Two braces! It is clear that Romelu Lukaku is by far the first choice striker for Belgium and he has proved that in the past few games for Belgium.

The big Belgian is in red-hot form, scoring goals for his country. At the age of 25, Lukaku has more goals in major tournaments than any other Belgian and he also became the first player to score two or more in successive World Cup games since Diego Maradona in 1986.

Michy Batshuayi came on as a substitute against Tunisia and could have had five goals but missed three sitters before scoring Belgium’s fifth.

Roberto Martinez has also revealed that he is looking to rest Romelu Lukaku after an ankle injury fear. Michy will be the direct replacement for him if Belgium's coach opts for an out and out striker.
