Spain's Javi Martinez has highlighted the threat of Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder and Robin van Persie ahead of their clash with the Netherlands at the World Cup.

The reigning world and European champions will meet Oranje in a repeat of the 2010 final on Friday, and the versatile Bayern Munich star has picked out the trio as the danger-men.

Speaking to AS, Martinez said: "The greatest danger from them are their three top players, Sneijder, Robben and Van Persie.

"Robben is strong on the counter-attack and uses space very well.

"I was talking to Arjen yesterday [about the 2010 final]. And we've thought about the chance he had in the final against Iker Casillas. Thank God he didn't miss in the Champions League final [in 2013]."

La Roja face Chile and Australia in their other group games.
