Manuel Neuer is confident Bayern Munich can beat Liverpool in the Champions League, claiming Jurgen Klopp's men are "vulnerable".
The European giants were paired together at Monday's draw, with the two round-of-16 legs to be played in February and March.
Liverpool will hope to be still on top of the Premier League when the games come around – they moved back to the summit thanks to Sunday's 3-1 defeat of Manchester United at Anfield – while Bayern will expect to have closed the nine-point deficit to Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund.
He told the club's official website: "They're having a very good season and we know they were in the Champions League final last year.
"They certainly won't be delighted with the draw, either.
"They can counter quickly and they're dangerous in front of goal, but they're also vulnerable, as we've seen, and they'll be up against a good Bayern attack.
"It'll be a great game both at Liverpool and also at home at the Allianz Arena."
