Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund lineups, team news
There have been concerns around Bayern's star striker Harry Kane due to an ankle injury that saw him miss England's games against Brazil and Belgium, but he returned to team training on March 28 and is in the lineup.
However, goalkeep Manuel Neuer (adductor tear), Aleksandar Pavlovic (tonsilitis) and Raphael Guerreiro (thigh muscle tear) are all sidelined. Joshua Kimmich therefore continues at right-back, giving Konrad Laimer a chance to start in midfield.
Bayern Munich lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Ulreich (GK) — Kimmich, De Ligt, Dier, Davies — Laimer, Goretzka — Sane, Muller, Musiala — Kane.
Bayern Munich subs (9): Upamecano, Kim, Gnabry, Coman, Choupo-Moting, Zaragoza, Peretz, Tel, Mazraoui
Dortmund have Sebastien Haller back on the bench and right-back Julian Ryerson also returns. Former Bayern midfielder Marcel Sabitzer is not available due to suspension.
Jadon Sancho starts after being an unused sub in the 3-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt prior to the international break.
Borussia Dortmund lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Meyer (GK) — Ryserso, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Maatsen — Brandt, Can, Nmecha — Sancho, Fullkrug, Adeyemi.
Borussia Dortmund (9): Ozcan, Haller, Reus, Duranville, Wolf, Moukoko, Sule, Lotka, Bynoe-Gittens
Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund prediction
Bayern Munich find themselves in the unusual position of being behind in the Bundesliga title race ahead of the campaign run in.
If Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen stay on track, they will break Bayern's incredible streak of 11 successive titles since 2013, as part of a major power shift.
Thomas Tuchel's hosts cruised to a 4-0 win in Dortmund back in November and they have won nine of their last ten Der Klassiker meetings with their old foes.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
