Probable Lineups

Team News

Nurnberg

Kevin Goden challenges Robert Bauer for the spot at right-back.

Yuya Kubo and Virgil Misidjan offer further alternatives on the flanks.

Manager Boris Schommers has no reason to make any unforced changes, however.

Bayern Munich

Sven Ulreich will replace the injured Manuel Neuer in goal again.

Jérôme Boateng could rotate in at centre-back.

James Rodríguez and Leon Goretzka offer further options in central midfield.

Focus

Nurnberg have to recover from a 2-0 defeat at Leverkusen last time out. They trail the relegation play-off spot by three points, but are unlikely to shorten the gap this weekend.

Bayern defended their spot at the top of the table with a 1-0 win over Bremen last weekend. They advanced to the DFB-Pokal final with a 3-2 win against the same opponents on Wednesday, with the league and cup double their aim this season.

Expect Bayern to try to dominate the game from the outset.
