Liverpool take on a star-studded Bayern Munich side at the Allianz Arena on today , as the Reds look for a place in Wednesday’s Audi Cup final.

In terms of tough matches, this hasn’t been the most testing of summers for Liverpool, but that is about to change.
Jurgen Klopp‘s side are unbeaten in their five pre-season games to date, with Saturday’s 3-0 win over Hertha Berlin their latest
triumph, but Tuesday’s battle with Bayern will be a real test of the Reds’ credentials.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team are one of world football’s most dominant forces, with world-class talent everywhere you look.
The fact that they also have home advantage makes it an even more daunting clash for Liverpool, but it is a friendly to savour.
This game should be seen as a positive outing, with the Merseysiders needing to test themselves against sides of Bayern’s ilk ahead of this season’s Champions League.
We will learn a lot more about Klopp’s players on Tuesday evening, whether it be their defensive capabilities, midfield options or attacking threat.
Liverpool have several injury absentees ahead of the game.
Nathaniel Clyne is a certainty to miss the whole of the Audi Cup with a back problem, and he is also a doubt for the Reds’ Premier League opener at Watford on August 12.
This allows Trent Alexander-Arnold a chance to audition for a start at Vicarage Road, especially with Joe Gomez also sidelined.
Divock Origi is another who will play no part in Germany, due to a muscle issue, and Danny Ings is still not being rushed back.
James Milner has returned to full training after recovering from a thigh injury, so it is likely to be a toss-up between him and new signing Andrew Robertson as to who starts.

Along with Milner, Loris Karius and Dejan Lovren are also available for today selection
Jordan Henderson and Emre Can will tussle for the defensive midfield berth, with the duo both looking in promising form this summer, while Philippe Coutinho could feature in a deeper midfield role again.
