CONFIRMED Borussia Dortmund lineup for Bayern Munich clash: Haaland starts
By Tushar Bahl
Forwards: Julian Brandt, Marco Reus, Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland looks set to make his return to the starting XI after coming off the bench against Wolfsburg last weekend. He is not yet ready to play for 90 minutes, but Dortmund will be hoping that he can get the damage done quickly just like he did when these two sides last met in the Bundesliga.
Marco Reus is in excellent form heading into the game and has four goals and four assists in his last six appearances for club and country. He will be looking to lead his side to a famous win this weekend.
Julian Brandt is also in good form going into the game. His playmaking efforts and his newfound defensive discipline have helped him cement his place in the starting XI.
With Youssoufa Moukoko injured, Donyell Malen, Steffen Tigges, Marius Wolf and Reinier will provide the attacking threat off the bench for Borussia Dortmund. The Netherlands international has scored in each of his last three games and is rather surprisingly left out of the starting XI.
Bayern Munich starting XI: Neuer – Pavard, Upamecano, Hernández, Davies – Tolisso, Goretzka – Coman, Müller, Sané – Lewandowski
