Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes is set to shuffle his pack once more, and give Thomas Muller a well-deserved rest, with Xherdan Shaqiri likely to replace him.

Mario Mandzukic will come back into the starting lineup ahead of Mario Gomez, and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk could get a rare start in place of Javi Martinez. The only absence is Holger Badstuber, who is out for the season.

Meanwhile, Fortuna Dusseldorf has a host of players missing for the trip to the Allianz Arena. Backup keeper Robert Almer (thigh), Bruno Soares (fitness) and Juanan (abdominal injury) are all out.

Forwards Stefan Reisinger and Andriy Voronin are both missing. Meanwhile, Dani Schahin could play in the place of Oliver Fink.
