Bayern Munich vs Man City - Champions League: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction
By Tom Gott
Bayern Munich will seek to pull off one of the Champions League's most memorable comebacks when they face Manchester City on Wednesday in the second leg of their quarter-final tie.
A shock 3-0 defeat at the Etihad in the first leg leaves Bayern on the cusp of a humiliating elimination and a similar result here would prompt questions about the decision to dismiss Julian Nagelsmann and replace him with Thomas Tuchel midway through the season.
Few teams across Europe are as frightening as City right now, with Pep Guardiola's men demolishing whoever dares stand in the way of their pursuit of both domestic and European glory.
Here's all you need to know about this one.

Bayern Munich team news
Sadio Mane will be back in the Bayern squad after serving a one-game internal suspension for punching teammate Leroy Sane in the aftermath of the first leg, but whether he will start is a different question.
Tuchel was boosted by the return to training of striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. Monday's session was completed in full by the 34-year-old, who may be thrown straight in up top as Bayern seek to score at least three goals.
Manuel Neuer and Lucas Hernandez remain out.

Bayern Munich vs Man City score prediction
Bayern do tend to be a better side at home, and they'll hope to take advantage of the fact that City haven't been perfect in defence over the past few games, but the amount of work left to do will surely be too much for them.
Guardiola doesn't know how to sit back and defend a lead and he'll expect his side to dominate possession, push for more and impose their dominance. On current form, you wouldn't bet against them.
Expect Bayern to score, but City will expect to come out on top.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 1-2 Man City
