Porto coach Vitor Pereira says he is relishing his side's Champions League second round match with Malaga
Posted Tuesday, February 19, 2013 by BBC.com
Porto are unbeaten in 19 games and top the Primeira Liga. Malaga go into the tie unbeaten in five games and still undefeated in their Champions League debut season.
"We're gearing up for what will be a big game. Everyone is looking forward to it," Pereira said. "I'd even like to play in it myself."
Porto welcome back Columbian international James Rodriguez after the midfield playmaker missed seven games with a thigh injury.
Winger Silvestre Varela has also recovered from injury, but Belgian midfielder Steven Defour is doubtful with a muscle strain.
Malaga have only lost once in 12 games in Europe, with that defeat coming in Porto against neighbouring Boavista in the UEFA Cup.
