GK: Manuel Neuer - The veteran shot-stopper will likely keep his place in the starting XI, even with all the planned rotation. He could be in for a busy afternoon against the free-scoring Stuttgart.
RB: Joshua Kimmich - It remains to be seen if Kimmich will be afforded a rest on Saturday due to the lack of available alternatives at right-back in the Bayern Munich squad.
CB: Dayot Upamecano - If Tuchel decides to rest Eric Dier, we could see Dayot Upamecano come into the starting XI. The Frenchman will hope to make a strong impression and stake a claim for a starting spot on Wednesday.
CB: Kim Min-jae - Following his struggles against Real Madrid earlier this week, Kim Min-jae will hope to deliver a much-improved performance on Saturday. The South Korean defender could be given another shot in the starting XI in a bid to help him gain some match rhythm.
LB: Alphonso Davies - Having lost his spot as the first-choice left-back, Davies will likely return to the starting XI on Saturday with Noussair Mazraoui in line for a breather.
