Team news

Chelsea XI: Caballero; James, Christensen, Zouma, Emerson; Kante, Barkley, Kovacic; Mount, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi

Subs: Kepa, Cumming, Rudiger, Giroud, Batshuayi, Tomori, Broja, Lawrence, Maatsen, Bate, Simeu

Bayern XI: Neuer; Kimmich, Boateng, Alaba, Davies; Goretzka, Thiago; Gnabry, Muller, Perisic, Lewandowski

Subs: Ulreich, Hoffmann, Odrizola, Sule, Javi Martinez, Coutinho, Cuisance, Hernandez, Tolisso, Tillman, Musiala, Arrey-Mbi

Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 Chelsea (6-1 on aggregate)

There have been many special Champions League nights in Chelsea's history but this will surely be a bridge too far for Lampard's squad.

Taking on arguably the favourites to win the competition is one thing. But to face a three-goal deficit without key men such as Pulisic and Azpilicueta, the task is made only more difficult.

Against a side that has consistently leaked goals all season, the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry will be licking their lips at the prospect of adding to their goal tallies. Comfortable home win.

Head to head history and results

Chelsea can take solace from their last meeting at the Allianz Arena, where the Blues famously won the Champions League in 2012 against the Bavarian giants on their own turf.

Bayern have the edge in the overall head-to-head, winning twice in the five meetings - including a 3-2 victory in the Champions League back in 2005 - although Chelsea progressed 6-5 on aggregate to reach the semi-finals.

Ross Barkley

If he is to start in the midfield three in Munich, Barkley will be coming up against Leon Goretzka and Thiago. As far as tests go, there aren't many more difficult than that.

A big game for three players tonight... Emerson

Tonight, the Chelsea boss doesn't have either available and if Emerson is - as expected - leaving this summer, he could do with a big performance to show why he is worth his reported £25m asking price

Fighting for their futures

With Chelsea missing five first-team members for their trip to the Allianz Arena, their chances of progress are rated extremely unlikely.  Even with a fully-fit squad, the Blues aren't quite ready to match up to a team of Bayern Munich's quality.

But with reports suggesting up to 10 players could be put up for sale or the club will listen to offers for them, several players head into this clash knowing they could be featuring in their final game for Chelsea.

It seems Willian and Pedro already have. Emerson, Jorginho, Kurt Zouma, Michy Batshuayi and Kepa Arrizabalaga could be next out of the door. Andreas Christensen, Marcos Alonso and Ross Barkley could join them.

If any of these players are given a chance to impress tonight, they may well be fighting for their future - or at the very least, put themselves in the shop window ahead of the transfer window.

As for Bayern, Hansi Flick is without winger Kingsley Coman tonight due to a muscle injury, with one of Ivan Perisic or Barcelona loanee Philippe Coutinho set to replace the Frenchman.

Versatile defender Benjamin Pavard is also sidelined with an ankle problem suffered in training, meaning that Joshua Kimmich should slot in at right-back.

Trailing 3-0 from the first leg in March, Chelsea's hopes of pulling off a monumental upset at the Allianz Arena tonight are not helped by a lengthy list of injuries and suspensions.

Star man Christian Pulisic, captain Cesar Azpilicueta and Pedro - who has almost certainly played his final game for the club - are all sidelined along with the potentially Arsenal-bound Willian.

Billy Gilmour and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are still out, while Marcos Alonso and Jorginho are both suspended.
