Hello and welcome to our live coverage of this Champions League clash between Lokomotiv Moscow and Bayern Munich.
Both sides will be looking to build on positive results last week with the home side playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Salzburg and Bayern recording a surprisingly comfortable 4-0 victory over Atletico Madrid.
In the weekend’s respective league fixtures, Lokomotiv Moscow’s title aspirations took a knock as they lost to bottom side Rotor, while Bayern continue to demolish opponents, putting five past Eintracht Frankfurt with Robert Lewandowski registering his 11th Bundesliga hat-trick. The pole will be confident he can add to his impressive haul of goals this evening against a side who have conceded two goals in their last six Champions League fixtures.
LOKOMOTIV MOSCOW (4-3-2-1): Guilherme; Dmitri Zhivoglyadov, Vedran Corluka, Murilo Cerqueira, Maciej Rybus; Anton Miranchuk, Stanislav Magkeyev, Vladislav Ignatjev; Grzegorz Krychowiak, Fedor Smolov; Ze Luis.
LOKOMOTIV MOSCOW SUBS: Anton Kochenkov, Vitali Lystsov, Francois Kamano, Aleksandr Silyanov, Vitali Lisakovich, Dmitri Rybchinskiy, Andrey Savin, Slobodan Rajkovic, Rifat Zhemaletdinov, Maksim Mukhin, Eder, Daniil Kulikov.
BAYERN MUNICH (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; David Alaba, Benjamin Pavard, Lucas Hernandez, Niklas Sule; Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka; Kingsley Coman, Thomas Muller, Corentin Tolisso; Robert Lewandowski.
BAYERN MUNICH SUBS: Bouna Sarr, Douglas Costa, Javi Martinez, Leroy Sane, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Ron-Thorben Hoffmann, Marc Roca, Alexander Nubel, Jamal Musiala, Jerome Boateng, Serge Gnabry.
The teams are emerging from the tunnel and kick-off is moments away.
Nikolic will be pleased his side made it to half-time just one behind but the loss of Corluka will be a worry for the second period. Bayern never really seemed to get out of second gear so Hans-Dieter Flick will be encouraging his side to go out and make the early breakthrough.
Next up for Lokomotiv Moscow is a trip to PFC Sochi in the Russian Premier League before they face Atletico Madrid in the next round of group games, while Bayern return to Bundesliga action against FC Koln before travelling to Salzburg.
Thank you for following our coverage of tonight’s Champions League clash between Lokomotiv Moscow and Bayern Munich. Until next time, goodbye!
