Bayern Munich host Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
The German champions were beaten at Arsenal in their last European fixture, but have returned to form domestically. Vincent Kompany’s side are well positioned for progress in the Champions League and currently sit third in the standings.
Sporting have also impressed in Europe this season. The Portuguese champions are eighth, a position that would secure automatic progress to the last 16.

Bayern team news
Luis Diaz is suspended for Bayern Munich, despite seeing his three-match European ban reduced. The Colombian was dismissed during the win at PSG in November.
Alphonso Davies is nearing a return from a long-term knee injury but is not yet ready to feature, likewise Jamal Musiala following his fractured fibula sustained at the summer’s Club World Cup. Musiala is back in training with Kompany hopeful he can be eased back into action over the upcoming schedule.
In the midfielder’s absence, Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise and Lennart Karl are set to offer creative support to Harry Kane.
At the weekend, Kane scored a hat-trick off the bench at Stuttgart. He’s now scored 10 league hat-tricks for the Bavarians in just 76 appearances.
