LIVE UPDATES: Liverpool vs Bayern

Hello good evening and welcome!

Who fancies a Champions League night at Anfield to tickle the taste buds? Well, you're in luck, as Liverpool host Bayern Munich is their last 16 first leg tie.

As with all the games, there is a chance to take the advantage into next week's second leg in Germany, although the Reds will need to watch out for those pesky away goals.

Premier League leaders Liverpool will be without key man Virgil van Dijk tonight, with the Dutchman missing out through suspension.

They come up against a Bayern side who are finding their feet again after a slow start to the domestic campaign.

Having won each of the last six Bundesliga titles, the Bavarians have trailed Borussia Dortmund for much of this season but have cut the gap on BVB to two points as the title race heats up in Germany.

Elsewhere, Lyon will face Barcelona in the other Champions League game tonight.

Stay with us for all the updates from the two games, but we will concentrate more on the Liverpool vs Bayern game.
