The Champions League semi-finalists will be determined this week through the four second leg ties from the last eight. This is what to look out for during the action. Match of the Week The most delicately poised quarter-final showdown will place at San Siro, where Inter host Bayern Munich, who lead 2-1 courtesy to Davide Frattesi's late victory in Germany. That ended Bayern's five-year, 22-game unbeaten streak at home in Europe, leaving them with a difficult challenge in Milan, despite winning all four of their previous road games against Inter. However, of the 23 prior occasions in this competition that the Nerazzurri have held a first leg lead, they have advanced in 21 of them, albeit one of those eliminations did come last season against Atlético de Madrid. The last six meetings between the teams have also resulted in three wins each, keeping this one very much open and all to play for. 🔎 Team to watch.

After the away victory, the Hammers will probably feel more secure, but they now have a significant test when Liverpool visits them this weekend.
With eight points from their past four league games, West Ham has made great progress in recent weeks.
To win anything against the Reds, who have been unbeatable this season, they will need to put on a spectacular display.
Team Lopetegui will pick vs Liverpool
In midweek, West Ham defeated Southampton, but it cost them dearly. After suffering a severe head injury in a collision with Nathan Wood, Lukasz Fabianski was taken away on a stretcher.
Prior to the second half, Carlos Soler and Max Kilman were both hurt, and it is uncertain if they will be able to return in time to play the Reds.
In the meantime, Tomas Soucek and Guido Rodriguez will serve suspensions following their fifth yellow cards of the season.
Following his involvement in a horrific vehicle accident earlier this month, Michail Antonio has been sidelined for at least a year.
Lucas Paqueta will join Lopetegui, though, following his suspension against Southampton.
With Emerson and Aaron Wan-Bissaka playing on the flanks, the Spanish manager is anticipated to start Konstantinos Mavropanos and Jean Clair-Todibo in the center of defense.
It's likely that Edson Alvarez will play defensive midfield. The attack should be led by Niclas Fullkrug, with Crysencio Summerville and Jarrod Bowen acting as wide attackers.
Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Todibo, Emerson, Alvarez, Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus, Summerville, and Fullkrug are the predicted starting lineup.
The 39-year-old was later verified by Lopetegui to be awake and conscious in the locker room, but it seems improbable that he will play in Sunday's home match.
Alphonse Areola will move back to the side to fill in between the sticks while Fabianski is away.
