Welcome along to our live coverage of perhaps the most mouth-watering contest of the round-of-16: Liverpool vs Bayern Munich. The match kicks off at 8pm GMT, and in the meantime we'll have all the build-up and team news right here. First up, here's Simon Hughes on how Liverpool have been making waves in Germany:
Eight goals in the Champions League so far for this man. Will Robert Lewandowski find the net tonight?
The Polish striker has five goals against English clubs in the Champions League (Arsenal 4, Manchester City 1).
Lewandowski will be buoyed by Liveprool's issues in the heart of the defence.
Joe Gomez is a long-term absentee and Dejan Lovren is not fit to play a part this evening. VIrigl Van Djik's suspension leaves Jurgen Klopp in a bit of a hole, with Fabinho likely to be called upon once more to deputise alongside Joel Matip.
The game at Anfield is not the only Champions League action of the evening.
Barcelona are in Lyon to face a side they have never lost to. With Lionel Messi desperate for another Champions League win and La Liga looking increasingly sewn up, the Catalans are preparing themselves for a serious tilt in this year's competition.
Lyon are a sticky opponent at this stage, however, and showed their quality in both group stage fixtures against Manchester City. Team news for both games will be here shortly...

He sat down with Ed Malyon to talk about captaincy, Pep Guardiola and how emotion fuels him:
