Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup vs Bayern Munich: Haaland, Sancho and Reus set to lead the line
By Tushar Bahl
Forwards: Jadon Sancho, Marco Reus, Thorgan Hazard, Erling Haaland
Jadon Sancho will return to the starting XI after being rested against Club Brugge. The 20 year old is starting to find his feet after a slow start to the season. And he will certainly fancy his chances of putting on a game-changing performance with Alphonso Davies out injured.
Marco Reus is also set to start and will play in his favoured number ten role. This game presents the perfect opportunity for the Borussia Dortmund captain to show his quality with a big performance against the Bavarians.
It will be a toss-up between Thorgan Hazard and Gio Reyna for the left-wing spot. Hazard scored on Wednesday, while Reyna hasn’t been at his best in the last couple of games. And the Belgian international’s defensive discipline will be crucial in a game that will see Dortmund have a lot less possession than they usually do.

Leading the attack for the black and Yellows will be Erling Haaland, who is fresh off his brace against Club Brugge. The Norwegian striker scored past Manuel Neuer in September, and will be aiming to lift his side to victory on Saturday.
