Defence: Thomas Meunier, Mats Hummels, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Nico Schulz

Mateu Morey has done a solid job at right-back in the last few games, but Thomas Meunier comes into the team for the Bayern clash. The Spaniard is probably rested ahead of Tuesday’s game against Sevilla

Dan-Axel Zagadou starts in central defence alongside Mats Hummels. The Frenchman hasn’t started a game since January (when he was subbed off at half time due to a muscle injury), but hopefully he will be ready for the tough test posed by Bayern.

Hummels showed his quality with an excellent performance on Tuesday. And he will have to be at his best once again on Saturday, as he goes up against his former employers.

With Raphael Guerreiro ruled out, Nico Schulz will start at left-back. The German international did a decent job after replacing Guerreiro against Gladbach. And hopefully, we will see another solid performance from him this weekend.
