5. Passing lanes: Instead of over-engaging the ball-carrier, track runners and jump attempted line-breakers. They don't really lose it on miscontrols. I noticed they’re only 54.5% completion on line-breakers in the Champions League.

3. In general, test recovery pace (and agility) in wide areas. This will compound over the game: because of their injuries/suspensions, our late legs are better than theirs’ (Martinelli, Madueke, etc).

1. Attacking set pieces: Bayern have surrendered 6 in the Bundesliga, which is 75% of their total goals allowed. They pack the six-yard, but temperamentally, they don’t seem aggressive in chaotic situations in the box. Can be flat-footed. I'd look at flick-ons.
