Benfica v Rangers team news
Benfica: The hosts will have to make do without the injured trio of Jean Clair Todibo, Andre Almeida and Alejandro Grimaldo.
With their perfect record on the line, expect a largely unchanged side from the one that made light work of Standard Liege.
Rangers: Gerrard has a near fully fit squad to call upon with only Nikola Katic sidelined with a long term ligament injury.
The Scots are not expected to make many changes from the side that has been winning for fun over the last few weeks.
Our prediction: Benfica v Rangers
With both sides riding the crest of an incredible wave of form, Thursday's clash promises to be explosive.
Rangers go in as the underdog but, after a fantastic start to the season, you wouldn't want to rule out an upset away-day win.
While Gerrard will be desperate for his side to continue on their merry way, a result in Lisbon could prove to be a bridge too far.
Our prediction: Benfica 2 - 1 Rangers
