To keep you warm now the night's are closing in, I propose a five-pointer in tonight's Europa League. Not normally one to tip in the Disneyland Paris Cup (it's Mickey Mouse, it's in Europe), but this was irresistible and I just have to tell you about it.

Benfica are back with a bang this season with a new coach - Jesus, a local boy - a new style of play which is goal-crazy (24 in first seven league games), and a South American playing staff that exudes quality.

Everton meanwhile, are ten players down and looking jaded. They are as good as qualified before the start of this game while Benfica, thanks to two away defeats are still in need of the points to make sure.

The Portuguese are going to war, and the Toffees already have their tin hats on. An absolute given home win and the bookies are flirting with Evens. Get on.
