TEAM NEWS
Former Bayern midfielder Julia Zigiotti is available to return for United, after missing Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City as she served a one-match suspension in the Barclays Women's Super League.
Head coach Marc Skinner may provide further concrete updates on his squad when he conducts his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, which you will be able to see here in the United App and on ManUtd.com.
Elisabeth Terland, our top scorer this season with 15 goals, was also absent for the derby at the weekend as she is managing a knock. Layla Drury's introduction as a substitute meant she became the youngest player to feature in a WSL Manchester derby at 16 years and 289 days, but she is not currently registered to play in the Champions League.
Leah Galton, Dominique Janssen, Anna Sandberg, Ella Toone and Ellen Wangerheim have all been sidelined of late, while Celin Bizet Donnum remains unavailable while she is expecting a baby.
Bayern, meanwhile, made seven changes for their weekend win over Nurnberg, affording a lighter load to several stars of their first-leg success last week. That included Pernille Harder, who scored twice at Old Trafford before being brought into the game as a 72nd-minute sub on Saturday.
Klara Buhl, Jovana Damnjanovic, Anna Klink, Katharina Naschenweng, Lena Oberdorf, Alara Sehitler and Sarah Zadrazil didn't make the trip to Manchester or play on their return to league action.

BAYERN REPORT
The Bavarians are coming into Wednesday's second leg on the back of the aforementioned 2-0 triumph over Nurnberg in the Frauen-Bundesliga.
After a goalless first half, Edna Imade struck within 60 seconds of the restart to set Bayern on their way to an 18th successive league victory, before Natalia Padilla Bidas completed the scoring with 10 minutes to go in normal time.
Jose Barcala's team are now 13 points clear of Wolfsburg at the top, and need just one more win to secure their fifth league title in six years, once the domestic season resumes after the upcoming international break.
They have lost just once across all competitions this term and are set to be backed by the majority of a healthy crowd in midweek, with the club announcing on Sunday that 20,000 tickets have been sold for Wednesday's clash with United, their third game of the campaign at Allianz Arena.
OTHER FIXTURES
Our game is the first of the four quarter-final second legs taking place in the Champions League across Wednesday and Thursday.
An all-WSL showdown between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge is Wednesday's late kick-off, before the other two ties are concluded the following day.
That includes the El Clasico clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid at Camp Nou. The winner of that one will meet Bayern or United in the semi-finals.
