Preview: Bayern vs Chelsea

Having won yet another domestic double of the Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal without much fuss, Bayern Munich will again try to chase the title that has eluded them since 2013, when they won the Treble: the Champions League. Die Roten are already comfortably into the quarter-finals thanks to their 3-0 away win over Frank Lampard's young Chelsea side, and as such, Hansi Flick may opt to mix things up a bit when the two sides lock horns for the second leg on Saturday.

Chelsea will come into this game having lost the FA Cup final to Arsenal, but Lampard won't be focusing too much on that defeat. The Blues have already qualified for next season's Champions League after finishing in the top four, and while they will face an uphill battle here against a more seasoned and experienced Bayern side led by Polish goal-machine Robert Lewandowski, the London giants still will want to at least try to cause the Bavarian titans some worries on their home turf.

Unfortunately, that will be easier said than done. The visitors have a whole slew of players out due to injury and suspension, making Lampard's selection for his starting XI an absolute nightmare. Furthermore, Chelsea have struggled in their travels in the Champions League, where they are winless in their last seven away knockout round ties.

Meanwhile, their hosts, not surprisingly have a formidable record - they have lost just one of their last 25 European ties during which they won the first leg on the road. In addition, Bayern are making their 23rd appearance - which only puts them behind Spanish duo Barcelona and Real Madrid (both with 24) appearances in this competition.

Team news: Bayern vs Chelsea

Bayern: Only defender Benjamin Pavard appears to be out for this game, meaning that Bayern manager Hansi Flick will have plenty of options in terms of selecting a starting XI on Saturday.

Chelsea: Chelsea, by contrast, have been hit by a huge injury and suspension crisis as they look to climb an already huge mountain. Both Marcos Alonso and Jorginho are suspended for this game. And the injuries Lampard now has to contend with include American star Christian Pulisic and skipper Cesar Azpilicueta (both hamstring injuries), as well as Ruben Loftus-Cheek (also hamstring), youngster Billy Gilmour, who's still recovering following knee surgery, and experienced attacker Pedro who is struggling with a shoulder injury.

In addition, World Cup winner N'Golo Kante is still a doubt after missing several games due to an injured hamstring; the French international hasn't played for the side in over a month and it's not likely he will be risked here.
