Sunderland boss David Moyes is wary facing Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.

Moyes sees shades of Everton's great centre-forwards in Lukaku and spoke of his admiration for the Belgian.

Moyes said: “When you think of Everton, their history of number nines – Bob Latchford, Duncan Ferguson, Andy Gray, Graeme Sharp, I'll probably get dug up for not mentioning others.

“That level, Lukaku certainly fits the bill. They've always loved a powerful striker, even Joe Royle in his day, and he (Lukaku) is the modern centre-forward, powerful, quick.

“I think with his goalscoring, he's a big, big presence for Everton.

“We need to stop him."
