Predicted Starting XI for Bayern Munich

Flick had to make changes to the starting XI against Monchengladbach due to suspensions for a couple of important players. He also decided to rest some players by bringing them on in the second half. However, he may go for a full-strength team against Bremen with title in sight.

Manuel Neuer made some important saves against Gladbach, which turned out to be very crucial since Die Roten won by a narrow margin. The German will start in the goal on Tuesday. Jerome Boateng and David Alaba are unlikely to get rest as the duo has formed a solid central defensive partnership. Alphonso Davies will also return in the lineup at the left-back position, while Benjamin Pavard will continue in the right-back position.

More from Bayern Strikes

In the midfield department, there is no selection dilemma for Flick due to injuries to Tolisso and Thiago. Joshua Kimmich will continue to start in the holding midfield role, albeit it is a flexible position as he interchanges positions with Leon Goretzka throughout the game. The latter is becoming a vital cog for Bayern with recent impressive performances in the center of the park.

Muller comes back to play in the number ten role, eyeing to add more assists to his tally in the Bundesliga. After coming off the bench on Saturday, Kingsley Coman is likely to start at Bremen, while Serge Gnabry occupies the right flank. Robert Lewandowski will be looking to add more to his goal tally in the league while leading the line for visitors.
