Chelsea boss Antonio Conte remained coy about comparisons between the two prolific forwards, but admitted the Blues must pay heed to Lukaku's powers on Sunday.
Asked if he would rather have Costa or Lukaku, Conte replied: 'As I've said before, for me my players are the best in the world.
'I wouldn't change my players with any other players. I think that Lukaku for sure is a really good player, he's scoring a lot of goals this season.
'You have to pay him great attention but it's always the same, we study the opponent and we try to find the best solution to stop them, about single players and about the team.
'Yes we must pay great attention to Lukaku, but also Everton's other players. They have a lot of good players with good technique.'
Chelsea top the league table by four points with five matches to play, but Conte has rejected suggestions the Blues face an easier run-in than title rivals Tottenham.
The former Juventus and Italy coach also called on Premier League organisers to even out the final leg of future title battles.
Conte believes the Premier League ought to alter fixtures at the last minute in future to ensure title rivals' matches kick off simultaneously.
