World Cup 2018: France vs Belgium, 5 Premier League players to watch out for

#1 Romelu Lukaku

Lukaku has troubled many defenders with his strong build and great pace

The 25-year-old striker is not far behind Harry Kane in the chase of the Golden Boot award. He already has four goals and is just two goals behind the English man. Lukaku would be extremely familiar playing against Hugo Lloris after years of experience in the English Premier League.

Unlike Giroud, Lukaku has great pace to his game too. He has the physicality to be involved in tough challenges and throw his opponents off the ball. At the same time, he is also capable of charging down the pitch as soon as he receives the ball from his team-mates. His movement in the box has often given defenders lots of problems and they hardly have time to react to his actions.

The former Everton striker has great awareness of where the ball would be coming from and ensures that he has time to get into the right position to score. It is one of the many talents that Lukaku has and there is no doubt that he will lead the line against France. Belgium's hopes of advancing to the finals will lie on his shoulders and he has the responsibility to put his side in front as soon as possible.
