Champions League line-ups: Benfica-Inter

Inter transform their line-up in Lisbon including chances for Marko Arnautovic, Alexis Sanchez and Davide Frattesi against troubled Benfica.

It kicks off at the Estadio da Luz at 20.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Real Madrid-Napoli on the LIVEBLOG.

The Nerazzurri already booked their place in the knockouts and will have it out directly with joint leaders Real Sociedad at San Siro in the final game for who gets top spot.

It allows Simone Inzaghi to rotate the squad ahead of this weekend’s Serie A clash with Napoli, not just leaving out injured Denzel Dumfries, Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni.

Even Yann Sommer is rested in goal, with Emil Audero making his Inter debut.

Benfica are bottom of the group and already eliminated after losing all four games so far, scoring one goal and conceding seven.

Alexander Bah, Goncalo Guedes and David Neres are out of action, but former Juventus star Angel Di Maria starts in support of Casper Tengstedt.

Familiar faces in the squad to Serie A fans include ex-Fiorentina striker Arthur Cabral and former Inter flop Joao Mario.

These teams met last season in the Champions League quarter-finals and Benfica have never been able to beat Inter, managing just two draws from six games.
