Newcastle vs Benfica: Champions League preview
For Mourinho, winning on English soil would come no sweeter than at Newcastle United on Tuesday evening.
The enigmatic manager has faced the Magpies 21 times previously as manager, winning 11 of those contests and drawing 5.
It's a statistic that may throw off Newcastle's early confidence, but his toughest test will be to keep the Geordies quiet, in what could be another exciting European night for the hosts.
Newcastle United remain without Tino Livramento, Yoanne Wissa and Lewis Hall, but new signing Woltemade cannot stop scoring and will hope his rich run of form in front of goal continues this week.

Benfica beat Chaves 2-0 at the weekend in their final warm-up for a trip to the north-east, and how Mourinho's players respond to the cold climate could first be an interesting watch.
That win ended a two-game winless spell for Mourinho’s men but they stll remain five points adrift from current league leaders FC Porto.
The Eagles have won only one of their last nine away games against English teams in European competition and they are the underdogs again in this one.
There appears to be three names who will miss out for the visitors, with Alexander Bah (ACL), Manu Silva (ACL) and Bruma (Achilles tendon) all still currently on the treatment table.

Newcastle 2-0 Benfica
