UEFA Champions League | Manchester United VS Bayern Munich; Wednesday, 13 December at 04:00 GMT +8

Manchester United, who finished in third place last season, have not met their expectations. They suffered a humiliating 0-3 defeat against Bournemouth, and now face a difficult situation. To reach the knockout stage, United must beat Bayern and hope for a draw with Galatasaray and Copenhagen. Their faith is not in their hands.

Bayern Munich needed to show a reaction after being knocked out of the German Cup by Saarbrücken. They achieved four consecutive wins before ending their run in the Champions League with a goalless draw against Copenhagen. Despite qualification, coach Tuchel expects a reaction from his team on Tuesday due to the recent defeat and scoreline against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Manchester United is set to make two changes to their team following their recent defeat to Bournemouth. Erik ten Hag is expected to make two changes, with Anthony Martial likely to be demoted to the bench and Rasmus Højlund replacing him. Højlund, who has scored five goals in five Champions League games this season, is expected to lead the line on Tuesday, while Raphaël Varane or Jonny Evans could replace Luke Shaw in defence.

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel will be without Serge Gnabry on Tuesday due to an injury. Gnabry was taken off just minutes after coming on as a substitute against Frankfurt. The Reds have other injuries including a hamstring, muscle, cruciate ligament, and knee.

Predicted lineups:

Manchester United

Goalkeeper: André Onana
Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, Sergio Reguilón
Midfielders: Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, Sofyan Amrabat
