Benfica v Liverpool Live
Match Preview
All the team news as Liverpool prepare to take on Benfica in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Reds' £17 million midfielder Alberto Aquilani (ankle) will play no part in Portugal tonight, after an injury suffered in training.
Lucas could be the benefactor, with Dirk Kuyt likely to start wide on the right and Steven Gerrard deployed in an advanced central role for the first leg of the tie.
Maxi Rodriguez is ineligible, while defender Martin Kelly (knee) is set to undergo surgery.
Benfica are expected to be at full strength, with Angel Di Maria, Pablo Aimar and Javier Savila providing a three-pronged Argentinian threat and Oscar Cardoza up front.
