Paris - Prolific Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku will lead Everton's assault on Dynamo Kiev in the Europa League last-16, first-leg tie on Thursday after scoring five times in the previous round.

Other plum ties in the round of 16 see Wolfsburg host Inter Milan, Napoli welcome Dynamo Moscow while Fiorentina await AS Roma, with return legs to be played a week later.
