TF-Images/Getty Images Bayern Munich welcome Liverpool to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie. There is everything still to play for in Germany after the two teams played out a goalless draw at Anfield in the first leg. Bayern head into the game after a 6-0 win over Wolfsburg that saw them return to the top of the Bundesliga table for the first time since September, while Liverpool came from behind to beat Burnley 4-2 at Anfield. Date: Wednesday, March 13 Time: 8 p.m. GMT, 4 p.m. ET TV Info: BT Sport 2 (UK), TNT USA (U.S.) Live Stream: BT Sport Live (UK), B/R Live, Watch TNT, (U.S.) Preview Videos you might like Bayern will welcome Liverpool full of confidence after hitting six goals at the weekend but will be without some key players for the visit of the Reds. Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich are both suspended for the return leg. Manager Niko Kovac could bring in Rafinha and Franck Ribery to replace the duo. Arjen Robben and Corentin Tolisso are out injured, but Kingsley Coman may feature after training with the team ahead of the match: Bayern will look to striker Robert Lewandowski to provide the goals against Liverpool. The 30-year-old scored twice on Saturday to etch his name into the Bundesliga history books: Lewandowski is also the top scorer in the Champions League this season with eight goals and is in red-hot form with four in his last two outings. Kovac believes his side will have the support of the whole of Germany against Liverpool: Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp's men will be boosted by the return of centre-back Virgil van Dijk, who missed the first leg due to suspension. The Dutch defender has been a colossus at the back for Liverpool this season and will surely be relishing the prospect of taking on Lewandowski: Liverpool will need Van Dijk to be at his best as their away form has been a weakness this season. They lost all three group games on their travels and were also knocked out of the FA Cup at Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Reds have also not been quite as ruthless going forwards in recent games. They have failed to score in their last two away matches, against Manchester United and Everton, and star man Mohamed Salah has just one goal in his last eight outings. However, Sadio Mane is in fine form with eight goals in his last nine games, while Roberto Firmino ended a six-game goalless run with a double on Sunday. The first leg showed there is little to choose between the two clubs, and the return leg looks like being an equally tight affair. Bayern look to have the edge when it comes to form, and home advantage may also be a factor as they look to secure a quarter-final spot.<doc-sep>Bayern Munich vs Liverpool: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview With the tie delicately poised, the two giants clash at the Allianz Arena for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League Bayern Munich will attempt to continue their resurgent form against Liverpool in the Champions League, when they meet in the last-16 at the Allianz Arena for their second leg.

Match Preview There is more than just a place in the Champions League quarter-finals at stake for Liverpool when they visit Bayern Munich on Wednesday: the club’s financial health is also on the line in Germany , according to manager Jurgen Klopp. The former Borussia Dortmund boss knows all about getting one over on FCB from his two Bundesliga titles with BVB, and now takes his Reds squad to Germany as they seek to replicate the form that carried them into last season’s final. Although that run ended in disappointment, the Merseyside club recouped more than £70 million ($92m) in their efforts last season and Klopp believes they are motivated to replicate such form. “It is not that the players prefer the Champions League to winning the league, but they like this kind of game,” he said. “There are only two interesting games in the whole of Europe that night. Let’s play them, let’s watch them. This is the spotlight you want as a professional football player, so let’s play the game. “We all have to qualify constantly for Champions League. That’s what gives us the money to improve to do the next step and the next step. When we qualified by beating Napoli in the group stages I’m not sure how much but it was a lot of money in one game. “I didn’t think a second about that before that game. It wasn’t like: ‘Oh my God! We have to earn this money for the club!’ We only wanted to go through. But after we got through it was like: ‘Wow! That’s proper!’ “It is a money-throwing competition, if I can say that, and we have to be in it as long as possible because we have to improve the situation for the club.” Klopp expects a determined Bayern Munich side, fuelled by the aim to prove their critics wrong after they were stung in the first half of the campaign. Since then, Germany boss Joachim Low has forced Mats Hummels, Jerome Boateng and Thomas Muller into premature international retirement and the Liverpool boss does not think that has done his side any favours. “The only possibility for me is to think about how I’d react. I was never in contention for the national team but if something like this happened to you when you are young, fit and healthy then I think I would try to show it was a mistake,” he said. Bayern have been in impressive form domestically, winning 5-1 at Borussia Monchengladbach on March 2 then following that up with a 6-0 win over Wolfsburg a week later to take top spot in the Bundesliga away from Dortmund.<doc-sep>Two of the Champions League's strongest contenders get together in Germany on Wednesday as Liverpool faces Bayern Munich in the second leg of their round of 16 clash. The two battled to a 0-0 draw in the first leg at Anfield, and a draw with goals here would be enough for Liverpool to move on to the quarterfinals. Here's how you can watch the match and what to know: Champions League: Bayern Munich vs. Liverpool Date : Wednesday, March 13 : Wednesday, March 13 Time : 4 p.m. ET : 4 p.m. ET Location : Allianz Arena : Allianz Arena TV channel : TNT and Galavision : TNT and Galavision Streaming: fuboTV (Try for free) fuboTV (Try for free) Odds: Bayern +105 / Liverpool +245 / Draw +260 European football expert David Sumpter's model has netted a mind-blowing 2,000 percent return over the past three seasons. Now, he's revealed his picks for Wednesday's Champions League action. Check them out only on SportsLine. Storylines Bayern: The German club is in its best form of the season, especially in attack. Now in first place in the Bundesliga, they have 11 goals scored in their last two games. The inconsistent start to the campaign is now gone, and this team in dominating in the middle of the field and Manuel Neuer is finally getting back to his old, top form. Against Liverpool, they'll need to be cautious to not send their outside backs too far up the field, but when they do Javi Martinez can drop into the backline if he starts. Expect them to not play too risky. Liverpool: This is it. Save the season or potentially be headed for a trophy-less campaign with Manchester City ahead of them in the Premier League. Liverpool has one win in its last four matches, and in three of those games the team failed to score a goal. The Reds are likely going to need a goal or two here to move on and avoid any extra time or penalty kicks. Bayern vs. Liverpool prediction Bayern's form in attack is the best of the season, and here they keep it going to edge the Reds and move on. Pick: Bayern (+105)<doc-sep>Initial reactions and observations: Bayern’s offense could not get it done. The team managed a meager 3 key passes. In other words, only three passes led to shots. The passers? Süle, Javi, and Coman. Nothing came from Ribery or James. Bitterly, in the one moment when Rafinha was truly called upon to defuse a critical situation, Manuel Neuer unadvisedly intervened, rushing Mané in the penalty area but failing to collect the ball. In my view, it was Neuer’s mistake that led to Liverpool’s critical first goal. Virgil van Dijk is a beast. We’ll never know how Liverpool might have played with him at Anfield, but he was spectacular in Munich. He neutralized Javi and Hummels on his goal and was a rock on defense. Matip gaveth, and Matip tooketh away. He may have committed an unlucky own-goal off of Gnabry’s cross, but Matip was outstanding otherwise, snuffing out attack after attack and driving Lewandowski to distraction. It was fitting and symbolic that Kovac put Renato Sanches on for James Rodriguez. This is the roster that he was given. James failed to create anything tonight. Bayern missed Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Müller on offense undoubtedly most of all. Full time. Bayern’s Champions League quest has come to an end. 90+1 — Yellow card for Robertson: Funny, I guess. Robertson will be suspended for the first game of the next round. 90’ — Wow, Sanches! Spins his way around his man, making him fall down and then delivers a great forward pass to Coman. Alas, it all comes to naught. 89’ — Coman somehow eludes a triple-team, but sends the ball harmlessly across the goal line. 87’ — Substitution for Liverpool: Lallana on for Milner. 85’ — Liverpool score: Origi picks out Salah open on the left. Salah makes a perfect lobbed pass forward to Mané, who heads it past Neuer into the far corner. 83’ — Sanches takes a long shot on the ground wide of goal. Substitution for Liverpool: Origi replaces Firmino. 80’ — Neuer easily parries a direct shot by Firmino. 79’ — Substitution for Bayern: Renato Sanches replaces James. James is visibly irritated as Kovac meets him on the sideline. 75’ — Neuer makes a last-man clearance. Salah takes a shot wide as Mané closes in. Neuer manages to kick it away at the last second. Salah deserves a lot of credit for staying on his feet and not taking an easy penalty on a desperate tackle by Rafinha. 72’ — Substitution for Bayern: Leon Goretzka replaces Javi Martinez. Coman swiftly wins a corner, but Bayern cannot capitalize. 71’ — And two more corners. Bayern is struggling to get back into the game. 69’ — Goal for Liverpool! Alexander-Arnold sends the corner into the center of the scrum. Van Dijk launches skyward over Javi and Hummels and heads the ball into the left corner. 67’ — Milner wins a corner off Süle. Neuer swats a good ball to Matip at the far post back out of bounds. Rinse and repeat. 65’ — Yellow card for Thiago: Thiago wipes out Wijnaldum from behind. Javi then steps on him for good measure, but escapes the notice of the referee... 63’ — Lewy finally gets his personal pest in trouble: Matip receives a yellow card for fouling Lewy from behind. Javi Martinez connects with the freek kick, but sends it over the goal — and is offside. 61’ — Another brutal missed chance: Ribery finds Gnabry open out left. Gnabry sends a perfect cross to Lewandowski across the face of goal, but Lewy is a hair late, and the ball keeps rolling. Substitution for Bayern: Kingsley Coman is on for Ribery! 60’ — A Bayern breakaway is snuffed out when Thiago plays the ball into the ref’s legs. Fortunately, Liverpool promptly loses it. 57’ — Bayern just can’t get the ball out. The ref finally awards them a free kick on a foul. Lewandowski makes a run, but Liverpool’s Matip is there first. 55’ — Bayern remain on the defensive. They haven’t seen much of the ball for several minutes, although they’ve managed to keep Liverpool at bay. 50’ — Liverpool break, as Salah collects the ball out wide on the left. Salah goes for goal, although Milner is wide open on the left. Neuer punches the ball off to the side. 48’ — Yikes: Thiago goes down, but it seems as if he was only bumped by an elbow. 46’ — Yellow card for Liverpool: Mané sees the yellow card for catching Thiago on the foot. Kickoff of the 2nd half! And we’re back! The ball rolls yet again. Halftime — Here are some observations on the match to tide you over: Bayern’s defense has been solid, allowing Liverpool just three shots. Hummels, Süle, and Javi have been outstanding. But one of two on target went in after a very costly error by Manuel Neuer. Serge Gnabry may have produced the own-goal, but he has seen the ball relatively seldom. Most of Bayern’s offense has run through Ribery, but the Frenchman seems just incapable of breaking through Liverpool’s defense. Robert Lewandowski has, perhaps unsurprisingly, been starved of touches (14 at halftime). He has a single shot. His teammates need to get the ball to him. 45’ — So tantalizing. Robert Lewandowski breaks away with the ball and manages to get past Alisson, but the ball rolls out of bounds and the line ref (rather late) calls offside anyway. 44’ — Alaba’s free kick is right on target from impressive range, but Alisson is ready. 43’ — Yellow card for Liverpool: Fabinho brings James down on a tackle from behind. The ref lets the play continue briefly, but when Lewandowski is called offside, the free kick and yellow card are awarded. Alaba lines up to take the shot. 40’ — GOAL for Bayern! JAAAAA! Gnabry runs behind the defense to collect a long ball. He crosses it inside and Liverpool’s own Matip puts it in his own net before it can reach Lewandowski! OWN GOAL!<doc-sep>
Bayern Munich and Liverpool have kicked off at the Allianz Arena in Munich for what should be a raucous affair between two of Europe’s top teams. Liverpool, coming off a Champions League title run, are nearly even with Man City at the top of the EPL. Bayern, meanwhile, hasn’t missed the quarterfinals since 2011 and will have the home fans to urge them on in their Round of 16-second leg. Bayern Munich vs. Liverpool Date: Wednesday, March 13 Time: 4 p.m. ET Location: Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany TV: TNT Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free) Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, currently trailing Premier League leaders Manchester City by one point, have displayed somewhat shakier form of late and won only three of their last eight games—despite being unbeaten in 10. The first-leg draw against Bayern was one of five draws during that run. Klopp will hope the Reds can settle the result definitively in Bavaria, but Bayern’s failure to score on Merseyside means a score draw would see Liverpool advance to the quarterfinals. Die Roten chief Niko Kovac has seen his options boosted after left-back David Alaba and winger Kingsley Coman were passed fit to feature. Rafinha should stand in for banned right-back Joshua Kimmich, while Thomas Muller is also suspended and playmaker Corentin Tolisso is injured. Naby Keita is the only new injury for Klopp, whose center-backs Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez remain the more long-term absentees. Liverpool held a six-point lead at the Premier League summit coming into 2019 but now trail City by a point in their bid to win a first top-flight title since 1990. Despite the challenge of two major competitions, Klopp dismissed the notion a European exit would lighten their domestic pressure: “We don’t draw up a season and say the best way to go through it is to go out of all the cup competitions early. You do that and at that moment the same people go for you like mad. “Now it is closer to the end of the season and it is allowed to go out of the Champions League without even trying to go through? That’s really mad.” Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Mane, Salah, Firmino Bayern Munich: Bayern has capitalized upon Borussia Dortmund’s own wobbles in the German title race and now lead the Bundesliga on goal difference, having gone unbeaten in their last 18 games. Mercurial Mohamed Salah has scored once in his last eight appearances for Liverpool and will hope he can shake off the rust to force what could be a crucial away goal in Bavaria. Bayern XI: Neuer, Rafinha, Sule, Hummels, Alaba, Javi Martinez, Thiago, Gnabry, James Rodriguez, Ribery, Lewandowski Liverpool is hoping to make back-to-back appearances in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in a decade, but an experienced Bayern cast threatens to rain on the Red parade.
