    It's very hard to pick this team. Samaras has to start because he's been great for us in Europe and his best position is left midfield but it's very harsh on Mulgrew.

    I would start with the below, either that or Mulgrew on the left and Samaras up front (that would mean Watt dropping out). Although we all know there's zero chance of Brown not starting.

    :Forster:

    :Lustig: :Ambrose: :Wilson: :Matthews:

    :Wanyama:

    :Commons: :Kayal: :Ledley: :Samaras:

    :Watt:​

    I wouldn't say Brown has been excellent but there's been some very good performances from him along the way, some of his performances have actually surprised me this season because he's stuck to what he's good at. I just think we have better options in the squad but saying that, I wouldn't say I would be disappointed to see Brown starting because he has been playing well.

    My lineup would be....

    :Forster:
    ​
    :Lustig: :Ambrose: :Wilson: :Matthews:
    :Brown: :Wanyama: :Kayal: :Samaras:
    :Miku:
    :Watt:

    Maybe more attacking than we will really be....but i dont see why we should be scared :50:

    also its tough to leave ledley, mulgrew and commons out....id maybe bring in mulgrew or ledley for Watt and put sammy up top, but i think Miku should start after his performance vs Barca

    Would not drop Joe Ledley. He hasn't been fantastic as of late but he's got a habit of popping up at big moments in big games and Benfica is a massive game for us.

    Official site today:

    Sure makes me wish I was going! Anyway think this will be a much faster, up-tempo game than the last, both sides looked a bit flat at CP. Lots of chances for both sides but this will probably be a 1-0 game.

    I love Kayal but Ledley is a definite start if it comes down to him or Kayal.
