Liverpool and Tottenham target Divock Origi will continue to lead Belgium's line despite an impressive performance from substitute striker Romelu Lukaku against USA.

Lukaku replaced Origi with the scores locked at full-time before assisting Kevin de Bruyne's opener and scoring himself to send the Red Devils into the last eight.

Dries Mertens drops to the bench with Kevin Mirallas favoured and Argentina introduce three new faces for the quarter-final.

José María Basanta replaces the suspended Marcos Rojo and Fernando Gago drops out for Lucas Biglia, while Manchester City defender Martin Demichelis stands in for Federico Fernandez.

Argentina: Romero, Garay, Zabaleta, Biglia, Di Maria, Higuain, Messi (c), Mascherano, Demichelis, Lavezzi, Basanta

Belgium: Courtois, Alderweireld, Kompany (c), Vertonghen, Witsel, De Bruyne, Fellaini, Hazard, Mirallas, Van Buyten, Origi
