Everton striker Lukaku ready to rattle Man City defence

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku is up for their clash with Manchester City.

Lukaku is ready to meet City defensive pair Vincent Kompany and Eliaquim Mangala.

"I know Vincent and I know Mangala from years ago so I know what to do," Lukaku told the Daily Mail. "If I win the physical battles I know I will have a good game. I know I can do that. I'm taller than them, I'm bigger than them so I'm not scared.

"I played against Mangala at academy level when he was at Standard Liege and I was a 14-year-old at Anderlecht. He was playing as a No.8 at the time, believe it or not, but we won. I scored two in the away game and one at home."
