Bayern Team News
In their recent competitive match, Bayern played a 2-2 draw at home with Bayer Leverkusen. They took the lead as early as the seventh minute with a goal from Harry Kane, but the equalizer came in the 24th minute. However, in the 86th minute, the home team regained the lead when Mathys Tel set up Leon Goretzka, who put the ball in the net. In injury time, the visiting team earned a penalty, which they converted, and there were no further changes to the score.
Before their last match, Bayern had won all three of their league games, defeating Werder Bremen, Augsburg, and Borussia Monchengladbach. They are currently tied for first place in the table with ten points, the same as Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich is doubtful with an inflamed tendon and will be assessed before the start of the game. Manuel Neuer, Kingsley Coman, Raphael Guerreiro, and Tarek Buchmann are still in the treatment room.
Coach Thomas Tuchel briefly experimented with Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui as defensive midfielders at the end of the draw against Leverkusen after Joshua Kimmich was substituted in the second half. However, Kimmich’s potential absence on Wednesday will likely see Konrad Laimer start in midfield alongside Leon Goretzka. Former Tottenham Hotspur talisman Harry Kane has scored four goals in as many Bundesliga games this season, and he will be in the attack alongside Serge Gnabry and former Manchester City winger Leroy Sane, while Jamal Musiala, who has recovered from injury, will compete with Thomas Muller for the number 10 position.

Manchester United Team News
As for Manchester United, they lost 3-1 to Brighton in their last match at home. The visiting team took the lead in the 20th minute, while in the 40th minute, the home side managed to score through Rasmus Hojlund, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR decision. Early in the second half, Brighton doubled their lead, and in the 71st minute, they scored their third goal. A consolation goal for Manchester United was scored by Hannibal Mejbri two minutes later, with an assist from Lisandro Martinez.
Before that match, Manchester United had suffered two more defeats, to Arsenal and Tottenham, but they had triumphed over Wolves and Nottingham Forest, although they had not shown good performances. They are currently in 13th place in the table with only six points, seven points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
Regarding injured players, they suffered a fresh blow as Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be out for “several weeks” due to an unspecified injury he sustained against Brighton, so Diogo Dalot is likely to start at right-back.
Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat, Tom Heaton, Amad Diallo, and Kobbie Mainoo are also injured, but coach Eric Ten Hag has revealed that at least one of those players could be fit to return on Wednesday. However, Manchester United will be without Antony, who will remain absent “until further notice” amid allegations of assault made against him, while Jadon Sancho is also unavailable after being banished from first-team training following his social media outburst aimed at Ten Hag.
After an unsuccessful attempt with a 4-4-2 diamond formation in the loss to Brighton, Ten Hag could revert to a 4-2-3-1 setup against Bayern, with either Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, or Facundo Pellistri getting a start on the right flank.
