DM: João Palhinha - We could see Palhinha finally get his maiden opportunity to play from the start for Bayern Munich. The Portuguese international could add some much-needed balance and defensive steel to the Bayern starting XI.
CM: Aleksandar Pavlović - Fresh off his first goal for the Germany senior team, Pavlović will be keen to keep the momentum flowing. The talented midfielder has established himself as an important player for Bayern and should be in the starting XI on Saturday.
AM: Jamal Musiala - Another player who impressed during the international break, Musiala will be key to Bayern's hopes against Kiel. The playmaker will be looking to set the tone for his side and will once again play in a free role behind the striker.
