Lukaku has been around English football long enough to know what it means to be an Everton player when Liverpool come to visit and has to step up his game to lead the line against the Reds.
The forward has not lived up to the price tag Everton paid for him nor his own lofty standards and this would be the ideal way to really get back on track.
It might not be a goal but at the very least Lukaku needs to show the Liverpool defence they are in a game and take attention away from the other creative stars in Everton’s side and allow them space.
