Bayern Munich

Bayern have been immaculate in their title defence, winning all of their Champions League games so far.

Furthermore, their Bundesliga form has also been intact as they are currently leading the table with one defeat.

The Bavarians have been hit with the injuries of late, which saw them draw against Werder Bremen after the international break.

Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies have been ruled out for considerable games while Lucas Hernandez joined them after sustaining an injury during the weekend fixture against Werder.

Possible line-up

Neuer; Pavard, Sule, Alaba, Sarr; Martinez, Goretzka; Sane, Muller, Gnabry; Lewandowski

RB Salzburg

Salzburg are currently last in the Group A and the game against Bayern is a must-win situation for the next round hopes.

However, Salzburg have been consistent in Austrian Bundesliga this season after winning six of their eight games thus far.

Dominik Szoboszlai is one of the coveted players in Europe at the moment, with his name being discussed among European heavyweights like Real Madrid, Milan and Arsenal. The Hungarian prodigy will be key to the Austrian side alongside prolific striker Sekou Koita.

Possible line up

Stankovic; Nissen, Ramalho, Wober, Ulmer; Mwepu, Kamara, Seiwald; Berisha, Szoboszlai; Koita
