Defenders: Felix Passlack, Axel Witsel, Manuel Akanji, Nico Schulz

Axel Witsel slotted in at centre-back last weekend. And he will start in the same role against Bayern Munich. Antonios Papadopoulos starts on the bench once again, and will be hoping to get some minutes in the second half.

Manuel Akanji will once again be tasked with leading the Borussia Dortmund defence on Tuesday. The Swiss international has picked up right where he left off last season. And he will have to be at his best to stop Robert Lewandowski in the DFL-Supercup.

Felix Passlack will keep his place at right-back due to the lack of other options. It has been a mixed start to the season for him so far. And he will be in for another tough battle on Tuesday.

With Raphael Guerreiro still out injured, Nico Schulz will be aiming to keep his encouraging start to the season going on Tuesday.
