Before that, however, is our first-ever fixture in the last eight of the European competition, with a semi-final place in our sights.

TEAM NEWS
Dominique Janssen came off at half-time against West Ham last week, with Skinner later revealing it to be a hamstring issue which was being assessed, but she was omitted from our squad against Everton at the weekend.
Jayde Riviere was another absentee in both games, but the head coach said "if it's not Everton, it will be Bayern," when asked about her return in his media duties last week, so the hope will be that she's in contention for this one.
Hinata Miyazawa has missed our last few games due to her participation in the Asian Cup with Japan in Australia, a competition she won on Saturday, but it remains to be seen when she makes her return for the Reds.
Leah Galton, Ella Toone and Anna Sandberg remain sidelined with longer-term issues.
As ever, Skinner could provide further details on those players and the rest of his squad in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.

HOW WE GOT HERE
United finished sixth in the league phase with wins against Valerenga, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, with only former Champions League winners Wolfsburg and OL Lyonnes getting the better of us.
That sent us to a knockout-phase play-off against Atleti, which we won by a resounding 5-0 scoreline on aggregate, with goals from Elisabeth Terland, Melvine Malard, Julia Zigiotti (2) and Jess Park.
Victory against Bayern over these two legs would set up a semi-final tie against the winner of Real Madrid and Barcelona, with the Clasico rivals meeting in one of the three other quarter-finals.
Bayern finished fourth in the league phase, just one point ahead of us, bagging them automatic progression to this stage of the competition.
