The English giants booked their place in the knockout stages after finishing second in Group H behind Spanish side Valencia.

They have been inconsistent at home in this season's competition having recorded one win, one defeat and one draw against Ajax Amsterdam.

Chelsea are one of the most successful English clubs having won the Champions League title in 2012 and they are keen to clinch their second trophy this season.
 
Frank Lampard, the Chelsea manager is confident that they can overcome Bayern having defeated them in the 2012 final.

"Tiny moments in a game like this can be so crucial. Of course we want to be at our best going into the game, hopefully in good form," Lampard said.

"But the concentration levels and how we approach it will be maybe the deciding factor. Because I think we should be confident that we can beat Bayern Munich but understand that they are very strong.

"[It's] A tough draw, but a good draw. I think that we knew that when you get through the group stages you are generally in with some big teams."

Meanwhile, Bayern advanced to the Round of 16 after finishing at the top of Group B ahead of English side Tottenham Hotspur.

The German champions are undefeated on the road in this season's competition having registered three successive wins against Red Star Belgrade, Olympiacos Piraeus and Tottenham.
 
They are the most successful German club in the Champions League history with five titles and they are hoping to add their sixth trophy this year.
 
The last time Chelsea and Bayern clashed in a competitive match was on the 19th of May 2012.

The two teams played to a 1-1 draw in the Champions League final and Bayern won on penalties at the Allianz Arena.
