Team News: Ruben Neves handed start against Maccabi Tel Aviv

Reported Liverpool target Ruben Neves starts for Porto as they take on Group G bottom side Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Reported Liverpool target Ruben Neves starts for Porto as they take on Maccabi Tel Aviv this evening.

Neves, who became the club's youngest captain in the tournament's history in the reverse fixture, also retains the armband.

Vincent Aboubakar, who scored Porto's first goal when they won the previous encounter a fortnight ago, starts for the Portuguese giants, but Yacine Brahimi is not in the matchday squad.

Maccabi, who are still without a goal in the group phase, start with former Chelsea defender Tal Ben Haim in the heart of their backline.

Tel Aviv's threat could come from Eran Zahavi, who scored twice to help knock out Basel in the preliminary round.

Maccabi Tel Aviv: Rajkovic, Tibi, Ben Harush, Ben Haim I, Carlos García, Alberman, Zahavi, Rikan, Vermouth, Peretz, Ben Haim II
Subs: Lifshitz, Shpungin, Miha, Azulay, Mitrovic, Igiebor, Ben Basat

Porto: Casillas, Maxi Pereira, Martins Indi, Marcano, Layun, Ruben Neves, Evandro, Andre Andre, Danilo, Aboubakar, Tello
Subs: Helton, Herrera, Imbula, Varela, Corona, Andre Silva, Alberto Bueno
