Man City defender Stones ready for Lukaku showdown against Belgium

Manchester City's England defender John Stones is up for their final World Cup group game with Belgium.

Stones is looking forward to facing Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku.

"Me and Rom used to have some good battles in training when we were at Everton," Stones said.

"He is a top striker, that's why he went for that amount of money and gone to Man United.

"I'd love to have a good battle with him again. I think it's good to play such a strong team at this stage of the tournament. It brings the best out of you."
