Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund currently occupy first and second spot in the Bundesliga, with Dortmund hoping to close the gap to just one point with a win over their title rivals.
Tuesday's Der Klassiker is shaping up to be a massive game in the Bundesliga title race, with Bayern able to open up a seven-point lead over their rivals if they can win at Signal Iduna Park.
The previous Bundesliga meeting between the two sides this season was Hansi Flick's first game in charge of Bayern and he started his career as head coach in Munich with a convincing 4-0 win.
Dortmund have changed tactics since then and also signed Erling Haaland and Emre Can, so Lucien Favre's men will be optimistic that a similar scoreline will not happen in front of an empty 'Yellow Wall' on Tuesday.

Bayern Munich team news and injuries
| Position | Bayern Munich squad |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Neuer, Ulreich, Fruchtl, Hoffmann |
| Defenders | Odriozola, Pavard, Martinez, Boateng, Davies, Hernandez, Alaba, Mai |

Bayern Munich will be without midfielder Thiago for the trip to Dortmund, meaning Leon Goretzka partners Joshua Kimmich in midfield. The Spain international missed out on Monday's training session with a muscle problem, having sat out the win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
Fortunately for Hansi Flick, Serge Gnabry returned to training and is fit to start on the wing. On-loan Ivan Perisic has been dropped to the bench to accommodate the former Arsenal wideman, while fellow loanee Philippe Coutinho remains unavailable after ankle surgery.
Niklas Sule and Corentin Tolisso are long-term absentees for Bayern, with the latter likely to miss the rest of the season. Jerome Boateng is also fit to start despite picking up a knock.
