Jurgen Klopp will have to do without star center-back Virgil van Dijk for this clash, as the Dutchman has a one-game ban to serve.  

Complicating matters further for the German in the heart of the defense is an injury to Joe Gomez, which will prevent him from playing. Dejan Lovren is doubt and if he cannot play then Fabinho will move to center-back – a role he has rarely played.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is out while Xherdan Shaqiri, a former Bayern Munich player, is doubtful.

Roberto Firmino, meanwhile, is a serious doubt due to a virus.

Possible Liverpool starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Henderson, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Mane

Bayern Munich travel without Thomas Muller, who is banned.

Meanwhile, FCB have a raft of injury problems to contend with. Corentin Tolisso and Arjen Robben are all sidelined, while there are doubts over the availability of Leon Goretzka and Franck Ribery.

Jerome Boateng, meanwhile, is ill and misses the trip.

Possible Bayern Munich starting XI: Neuer; Kimmich, Hummels, Sule, Alaba; Martinez, Thiago, Rodriguez; Gnabry, Lewandowski, Coman
