Have you heard the one about the gunslinger, the assassin and the predator? Football fans in Salvador attending the Copa America quarter-final between Uruguay and Peru soon will because that's what's in store for them on Saturday.
Three of South America's most feared forwards will square off, weapons cocked and ready for battle.
Uruguay's Luis Suarez scored 25 goals for Barcelona last season and Edinson Cavani managed 23 for Paris Saint-Germain. Lining up opposite them will be Peru's Paolo Guerrero, a player who netted nine times for Brazil's Internacional since April after returning from a 14-month doping ban.
With that kind of firepower on the pitch, fans in the northern Brazilian city should be in for a feast of goals.
"Suarez and Cavani are irreplaceable," said Uruguay's coach Oscar Tabarez a few months ago.
"Given their incredibly high performance level, we can expect to achieve much more."
