Lille
Bayern
- With captain Rio Mavuba sidelined, Balmont and Pedretti may play in the double pivot of a 4-2-3-1 formation as Idrissa Gana Gueye is also still out with an ankle injury.
- Young left-back Lucas Digne was rested in the league against Bordeaux but will return, with Franck Beria switching to the right due to Mathieu Debuchy's suspension having been sent off in the previous round of fixtures against Valencia.
- David Rozenahl could come in at centre-back after Marko Basa broke his nose on Friday, though the Montenegro has successfully undergone an operation, while Nolan Roux should continue to get the nod over Tulio De Melo as the lone striker.
- The successful return of David Alaba at the weekend, coming off the bench to pick up an assist in Dusseldorf, could see the young Austrian regain his spot at left-back.
- His inclusion may well be at the expense of centre-back Dante, with Badstuber moving centrally to partner Boateng.
- Goals from the likes of Gustavo and Mandzukic could see the duo fight off competition from Javi Martinez and Claudio Pizarro respectively, with Mario Gomez still sidelined alongside Arjen Robben.
