Match preview

Both sides need a win to move towards the top eight. Bayern are 14th on five points after drawing 3-3 at Viking and 2-2 with Arsenal, and Atlético are 16th on four after a 1-1 draw at Stuttgart. Diego Simeone's side are second in La Liga, two points behind Barcelona, and are unbeaten in nine games since a 2-1 defeat at Liverpool in September. Bayern have not lost a competitive game this season and top the Bundesliga on goal difference, but they were held 2-2 by Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, when Kane hit the bar with a penalty. Assistant Aaron Danks remains in charge while head coach Vincent Kompany recovers.
