Article by Adam Brown @AdamMNVi  Fresh from a training break in Marbella, Liverpool begin their quest in the latter stages of the Champions League.Roberto Firmino looks likely to miss this one after being absent from training with a virus, while Dejan Lovren has been unable to recover in time, despite a recent visit to a specialist.Not to mention Virgil van Dijk’s suspension; which means that Matip is the Reds’ only senior centre-back available for the first leg against the German champions.It’s less than ideal, but Klopp can still field a side more than capable of getting a positive result against a Bayern team who haven’t been at their best this season.  It’s a huge boost to have Trent back, but no Virgil is a worry for this one. The Dutchman’s organisation has been key to Liverpool’s defensive success this year.The Matip and Fabinho partnership didn’t look promising against Wolves, which is a concern against Bayern’s much more threatening attack. A leader in the defence has to emerge on Tuesday night.Henderson, Wijnaldum and Keita make up the midfield. Naby has had good games against Munich before, so should feel comfortable with the Anfield crowd behind him. Henderson’s leadership will be vital – especially in regards to helping the back four.Our depth is prepared for a Bobby who may only be able to play the last 20 minutes – hopefully, he won’t need to score the winner late on as he did against PSG. Salah starts upfront with Shaqiri coming in out-wide.We can’t be fooled by Bayern’s under-performing in the Bundesliga – they’re as dangerous as anyone and will be confident of causing an upset.Sadio Mane is the key man for this game; as highlighted in the World Cup, Kimmich’s style from fullback can often result in him caught high up the pitch, this is where Mane can have the space to attack.Given our missing players for this game, the Anfield crowd could be the difference in the result. We would have much more reason to be worried at the Allianz.Score prediction: Liverpool 3 – 1 Bayern MunichAdam Brown – @AdamMNViHow does Chris think that Jurgen Klopp will select the team?
