Thomas Tuchel could make as many as five changes ahead of Bayern Munich’s Champions League game against Arsenal on Tuesday night.
Manuel Neuer, Raphael Guerreiro, Noussair Mazraoui, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Leroy Sané all travelled with the squad to London, while Neuer and Sané should start in place of Sven Ulreich and Thomas Müller.
After playing against Heidenheim, Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae are expected to lose their place in the starting eleven. Despite leading 2-0, Bayern conceded three against Heidenheim, leaving them 16 points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The defensive pairing were at the forefront of several errors, which should lead to Eric Dier and Matthijs de Ligt returning.
In attack, Kingsley Coman could return, but Serge Gnabry remains an option. The German is relishing his return to his former club, while Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane will retain their places.
Mathys Tel, Thomas Müller, Bryan Zaragoza and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting remain attacking options from the bench for Tuchel.
