Bayern star Jamal Musiala made his long-awaited return last time out, after he was sidelined by an ACL rupture sustained at the Club World Cup, and he could be in contention for a start here, as could Alphonso Davies.

Konrad Laimer is suspended. 

For Union, Raul Florucz could start after recovering from a calf injury, while midfielder Rob Schoofs may come back into the side after illness.

Promise David is expected to lead the line for the underdog visitors.

Bayern's goal-machine Kane has 32 goals this season across all competitions, and is on track to break his personal record of 44 in a single season.
