We are underway in Berlin!
Tonight’s encounter is a third-round tie in the German Cup and Hertha will be looking to bounce back after their defeat to Wolfsburg. Their last win came against Nurnberg on January 20, while Bayern were also beaten in their last league outing. A 3-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen has put more pressure on Niko Kovac ahead of kick off.
Good evening and welcome to tonight’s live coverage of the DFB Pokal clash between Hertha Berlin and Bayern Munich at the Olympiastadion.
HERTHA BERLIN (4-4-1-1): Rune Jarstein; Valentino Lazaro, Niklas Stark, Karim Rekik, Marvin Plattenhardt; Salomon Kalou, Per Skjelbred, Marko Grujic, Maximilian Mittelstadt,; Ondrej Duda; Vedad Ibisevic (C).
Bayern have now lost four league matches – as many as they suffered in the whole of last season. One of them came against Hertha back in September so revenge will be on the Bavarians’ mind tonight.

SUBS: Rafinha, Javi Martinez, Franck Ribery, Jérome Boateng, Alphonso Davies, Thomas Muller, Christian Fruchtl.

BAYERN MUNICH (4-2-3-1): Sven Ulreich; Joshua Kimmich, Niklas Sule, Mats Hummels, David Alaba; Leon Goretzka, Thiago Alcantara; Serge Gnabry, James Rodriguez, Kingsley Coman; Robert Lewandowski (C).
Hertha need to do more in midfield in the second 45 minutes, with Grujic and Skjelbred struggling to contain Gnabry, Rodriguez and Thiago. Bayern did go close on another occasion through the Colombian but they need to give Lewandowski more service if they are to win this evening.
Neither side manage to find a winner after another action-packed half in Berlin. Gnabry's goal looked like it would be enough but, his second goal of the game was cancelled out by Selke's neat finish from that shocking error from Hummels.
Bayern have 15 minutes to hang on thanks to Coman's brave header in the 98th minute. Hertha have already shown they can come back from behind, can they do it again?
That is all for tonight folks, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
Hertha should be proud of their efforts tonight and their fans will go home knowing they gave everything. In the end it was not enough and Bayern will now switch their attention to the Bundesliga. They are still seven points behind Borussia Dortmund ahead of their meeitng with Schalke.
