Van Dijk was booked for this challenge on Dries Mertens and will miss the first game against Bayern

Meanwhile, Niko Kovac also has some absentees, including Arjen Robben, withThomas Muller suspended for both legs in the last-16 tie.It will be two great sides fighting it out for a place in the last eight of the competition, but of course at talkSPORT, we love a crazy stat which could help give us a better idea about predicting who will come out on top.And we’ve found one that will get Kopites very excited indeed. The last time Liverpool played a German team in the Champions League was against Bayer Leverkusen in 2005 and of course, whenever someone mentions that year, every Reds supporter immediately thinks of when they last won the competition with a thrilling victory over AC Milan in Istanbul.Liverpool, who were managed by Rafael Benitez at the time, beat Leverkusen 3-1 at Anfield before winning by the same scoreline in the second leg in Germany – going through 6-2 on aggregate.4

Luis Garcia bagged a brace in the second leg in March 2005

Incidentally, like the upcoming tie against Bayern, the match against Leverkusen was at the last-16 stage of the tournament.The club’s talisman at the time Steven Gerrard was suspended for the first leg as is one of the Reds’ most important players in the current squad, Van Dijk.Liverpool have had success against German sides en route to winning four of their five European crowns – the others coming against Borussia Monchengladbach in the 1977 final, against the same opposition in the semis in 1978 and against Dynamo Dresden in the early stages of that season’s European Cup.They also beat Bayern in the semis in 1984 ahead of winning Liverpool winning a fourth European crown.Is this enough to convince you European Cup no.6 is coming to Merseyside?
