Newcastle got off to the best possible start in Lisbon a week ago, Cisse putting them 1-0 up after an incisive pass up the wing from Danny Simpson. Alan Pardew's side could do with a similar start tonight!
19:50
Mike Williamson makes his first start for Newcastle since January 19th and Gael Bigirimana's first since January 5th. Will there be a little rustiness in both players' legs?
19:45
Cisse's away goal in Lisbon last week means Newcastle do have something to cling on to in tonight's second leg. A 2-0 win would be good enough for the Magpies, with a full house expected at St James' Park.
19:40
Newcastle line up pretty much as expected, with Moussa Sissoko playing just behind Papiss Cisse in attack, but Benfica have thrown a curve-ball by leaving top scorer Oscar Cardozo on the bench, opting for Lorenzo Melgarejo instead up front.
