Former Scotland striker Andy Grays says that Fernando Torres should start for Chelsea against Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Former Scotland striker Andy Gray believes that Fernando Torres should lead the line for Chelsea in their Champions League quarter-final encounter with Benfica on Tuesday.

Torres, 28, has scored just six goals for the Blues this season, but Gray has insisted that the Spaniard should start in place of Didier Drogba.

"I'd start with Torres. Didier Drogba has the odd performance left in him, but he can only do it once every five or six games. He was poor at the weekend," Gray told talkSPORT.

"If it was me I'd go for Torres, but I always would. If he's going to stay he's going to be the future and trying to give him some confidence might be the way to go."

Benfica topped Manchester United's group in the qualifying stage of the Champions League.
