[ToxtethBlue]

Howard

Hibbert
Yobo
Distin
Baines

Bilyaletdinov
Rodwell
Fellaini
Pienaar

Saha
Yakubu

Just have a go at them really, put pressure on them and be positive. I usually wouldn't be keen on a Rodwell-Fellaini partnership but it's a different game in Europe which suits both players.

1-0 Everton, Yakubu with the goal.

Benfica continuned their free-scoring ways with a 6-0 thrashing of Monsanto, while Porto beat Sertanense 4-0. The surprise of the day saw part-timers Valenciano oust Liga Sagres outfit Olhanense.

Benfica travelled to Torres Novas with a much-changed line-up, but the alterations did not prevent the Eagles from racking up another impressive victory. Goals from the excellent Filipe Menezes, Carlos Martins (2), Saviola, Peixoto and Fabio Coentrao (pictured) gave Jorge Jesus' team a confidence boost ahead of their Europa League match against Everton on Thursday.

Benfica have now scored an incredible 37 goals in 12 games in all competitions this season.

here's their results so far...

I can see us getting a spanking.

Very good side these and sadly, at the moment, we aint.

I'll settle for a draw and watch it from 17.30 on ESPN HD,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,channel 529 Virgin TV UK

 

[NeoNaoNeo]

A draw would be a great result. In fact, I'd take 2 points from both games. Then just beat BATE at Goodison (easy as that...lol) and we'll go through.

 

[kenada_blue]

We are looking at a tonking.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

1-1

We're on a roll

 

[Axlswhk]

Saviola will tear us apart. Hibbert will get skinned and we will see hoofball everytime we had possession.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

A draw and I'll be happy. We really, really need to get our acts together for this one if we wanna come away with anything.

 

[NickD]

We shouldn't be scared of these, Think we'll win 2-1, there a good team and no doubt it will be tough but we can do it. coyb.

 

[EFC-Luke]

I think we'll get beat 2-1 but that is just pessimistic me.

Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.

COYB.

 

[Brownie]

Hopefully Fellaini will start and play well, he'll be vital in these games.

 

[EFC-Luke]

Fellaini will need to be solid in the air.
