RB: Sacha Boey - After showing glimpses of his attacking quality against Wolfsburg, Boey will hope to impress once again on Sunday. The right-back will also need to be at his best defensively.
CB: Kim Min-jae - The South Korean's error nearly proved to be very costly on matchday one against Wolfsburg. The spotlight will certainly be on him, and he will be keen to deliver a strong performance to quell the doubts.
CB: Dayot Upamecano - Another player in need of a strong performance is Upamecano. And fans will hope that the center-back can repay the faith shown in him by the club's hierarchy.
LB: Alphonso Davies - It will be interesting to see if we see a change at left-back on Sunday. Raphael Guerreiro's link-up play and ability to pick out passes could be useful against a Freiburg side that will likely sit deep. But Kompany may also decide to go with the more dynamic and direct Davies.
DM: João Palhinha - Palhinha could be set for his first start for Bayern Munich. The defensive midfielder will hope to add more control to the midfield after the chaos of the second-half against Wolfsburg.
