Jurgen Klopp's men take on the German champions

Liverpool take on Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup, with a win taking them to the final where they will face either Atletico Madrid or Napoli.

What time is kick off?

The match will kick off at 7.30pm BST on Tuesday 1 August at the Allianz Arena, Munich.

Where can I watch it?

It will be shown live on ITV4, with coverage starting from 7.15pm.

Alternatively, you can follow The Independent's live blog, which will appear in this article.

It’s a big game for…

Daniel Sturridge is in for a ‘massive’ year according to Adam Lallana, who said the forward’s return to full fitness is like having ‘two new signings.’ Sturridge has featured heavily in Liverpool’s pre-season as he looks to impress Klopp and pip Coutinho, Roberto Firmino or Sadio Mane in Liverpool’s front three.

Remember when…

In 2001, Liverpool beat Bayern Munich 3-2 in the Uefa Super Cup final. John Arne Riise, Emile Heskey and Michael Owen scored as Gerard Houllier’s men beat the 2001 Champions League winners.

Player to watch…

Philippe Coutinho will be the most talked about player in this match as whispers of his Liverpool exit escalating. No official bid has been made by Barcelona or PSG, who countryman Neymar has been persuading him to join.

Odds…

Bayern Munich to win: 8/15

Liverpool to win: 9/2

Draw: 3/1

Liverpool will be wearing their new change strip tonight.

Shades of that 1995-96 away number and a bleach-blonde Robbie Fowler.

So, who needs to perform tonight?

We ran the rule over Klopp's 30-man squad and picked out a few in need of minutes or just a good display...

12 min: Another chance for Liverpool!

Alberto Moreno bursts down the left and sends a tantalising cross over to the far post where Salah can meet it, but has to adjust his run slightly.

The Egyptian's effort is from a tight angle and Ulreich beats it away.

25 min: Another Liverpool opportunity after Firmino is felled just outside the area.

Coutinho and Moreno stand over the set piece and it's the latter who takes, forcing a high but rather simple save from Ulreich.

The 'keeper doesn't hold the ball and there's a small scramble in the box, but Bayern eventually clear their lines.

42 min: Whisper it, but Alberto Moreno's having a great game.

He slips a ball through that takes out several Bayern shirts and finds a marauding Emre Can, but the midfielder is crowded out by the hosts' backline.

We're back underway!

48 min: Corner for Bayern, swung into the near post but Lovren rises to nod away.

Liverpool attempt to break but Sanches is having none of it and hauls Wijnaldum down.

66 min: Roberto Firmino, Joel Matip, Mohamed Salah and Jordan Henderson are all making way.

Ryan Kent, Ragnar Klavan, Daniel Sturridge and Marko Grujic on. This last 25 will be interesting; Liverpool are comfortable but still need to see it out.

68 min: Bright start from Sturridge, who sends a shot glancing across goal shortly after joining the action.

GOAL DISALLOWED!

Well, it doesn't seem like our commentary team have noticed yet, but Marko Grujic's goal has been disallowed.

Adam Lallana is the culprit. He obstructed Ulreich's attempt to save, so that one is chalked off.
