Forwards: Thorgan Hazard, Marco Reus, Erling Haaland

Borussia Dortmund will be without Jadon Sancho and Gio Reyna, so Thorgan Hazard is the natural option to come into the team. Hazard’s defensive discipline will be crucial for the Black and Yellows, although he hasn’t started a game since December.

Marco Reus is finding his form at the right time. And with Sancho absent, he will have a key role to play against Bayern this weekend. The Borussia Dortmund captain hasn’t scored since December, and Saturday’s game could be the perfect opportunity for him to end his goal drought.

Erling Haaland will lead the line for Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian international has scored twice in two meetings against Bayern this season. He loves playing in the big games, and he will need no motivation ahead of this weekend’s crunch clash.
