Liverpool’s Champions League second leg clash against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena is well and truly in the balance – and you can hear it live on talkSPORT.The Bavarian outfit would have been elated to have avoided defeat at Anfield, while the Reds will be equally happy not to have conceded an away goal.
4Robert Lewandowski vs Virgil Van Dijk
The battle between Van Dijk and Lewandowski is arguably the pick of the clashes from the tie.Lewandowski is still one of the most lethal No.9’s in world football – he has scored 25 goals in all competitions this season and has shown no sign of slowing down with a brace in each of his last two league games.However, he has to contend with one of the best defenders in Europe in Van Dijk.The Dutchman is the frontrunner for the Premier League Player of the Year and has helped Liverpool to the most clean sheets this season (17).Whoever wins this duel, wins the tie.
GETTY4Rafinha vs Sadio Mane
Liverpool will be very happy that Joshua Kimmich picked up a booking in the first leg and is suspended as he has emerged as one of the best full-backs in Europe in recent seasons.Rafinha will fill in for the German and he has a sizeable task ahead to deal with Liverpool’s most in-form attacker Mane.

Serge Gnabry vs Andrew Robertson
Gnabry is Bayern Munich’s second top scorer this season after Lewandowski and it’s safe to say he gave Robertson some grief in the first leg.In the absense of Kimmich and Thomas Muller due to suspension, the German champions will be very reliant on their wide-men Gnabry and Kingsley Coman to make something happen.However, Bayern will know that all Liverpool need is an away goal to swing the tie in their favour.Jurgen Klopp’s side will likely play on the counter and Gnabry will need to be well aware of Robertson’s attacking prowess.The former Gunners ace will have to put in a huge defensive effort to track back and cover the Scot when Liverpool break.
