Liverpool and Manchester City are facing off in a Premier League meeting on Sunday afternoon.
Hugo Ekitike is a man in form ahead of the tie, having already netted 15 goals this season.
Ekitike has been compared to Fernando Torres by former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch.
Elsewhere, Gary Lineker and Arne Slot have praised the forward, saying that he is like a former Brazilian World Cup winner.

Ekitike and Wirtz have formed a brilliant partnership at Anfield, with both of course arriving from the Bundesliga in the summer.
Former Liverpool and Manchester City player appointed Eintracht Frankfurt manager
Wirtz was signed in a £116m move from Bayer Leverkusen, while Ekitike joined from Eintracht Frankfurt.
The 23-year-old scored 26 and assisted 14 in 64 matches for the German outfit, who have now appointed a former Liverpool player as their manager.
Frankfurt parted ways with Dino Toppmöller in mid-January following a 3-3 draw with Werder Bremen.
Now, they have appointed Albert Riera to the dugout this week, and he took charge of his first game against Union Berlin on Friday.
Some slightly older Liverpool fans will remember Riera from his time at Anfield between 2008 and 2010.
He had previously spent time on loan at Manchester City, making 18 appearances and scoring one goal before Espanyol moved him to Merseyside.
For Liverpool, the Spaniard netted five and assisted nine in 56 matches before being sold to Olympiacos in the summer of 2010.
