The big news from the Leicester camp is that captain Wes Morgan is back in the starting line up in the absence of the suspended Robert Huth...

And Atletico's line up...

There's no Gareth Bale for Real Madrid

But Lewandowski is back for Bayern Munich!

So some big decisions in those line ups - most notably no Bale but there is Lewandowski! What impact will that have at the Bernabeu? Real Madrid are still favourites to go through but no BBC will make Bayern more confident. However, Isco replacing the Welshman is hardly weakening the side too much, given his recent form.

And in the night's other game - Can Leicester do the impossible just one more time? Simeone seems to think so and has gone with a more defensive line-up, dropping Fernando Torres and playing Griezmann more centrally. Leicester have to force the issue tonight meaning Atleti will be looking to play on the break.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice last week and if he went one better and bagged a hat-trick this evening he will be the first person to hit 100 Champions League goals.

Here's confirmation of how Leicester will line up this evening - the classic 4-4-2. None of this three at the back nonsense!
