Luciano Spalletti is well aware that the course of the entire season may depend on the result of this two-legged tie, because it’s the difference between the Champions League group phase and Europa League.
Antonio Rudiger and Mario Rui are long-term injury absentees, while new arrival Bruno Peres isn’t yet in the squad.
Alisson gets the nod in goal with new signings Vermaelen and Juan Jesus in the back four.
Kevin Strootman starts in midfield, supporting the trident of Mohamed Salah, Dzeko and Diego Perotti.
Juan Manuel Iturbe has been picked for the bench rather than Gerson.
Porto revamp every year and still churn out new talents, even though Coach Nuno Espirito Santo only recently took charge.
Among the star names are Hector Herrera, the Mexico international midfielder who was heavily linked with Napoli.
Danilo Pereira (Parma) and Alex Telles (Inter) had brief spells in Serie A, while veteran ex-Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas wears the gloves.
Adrian Lopez is given the nod for a 4-1-4-1 system with Danilo in front of the defence.
The referee this evening is Dutch official Bjorn Kuipers.
