Bayern Munich possible 11:

Leverkusen possible 11:
Hradecky, Bakker, Tapsoba, Tah, Frimpong, Aranguiz, Demirbay, Adli, Wirtz, Diaby and Alario
Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 Leverkusen
The absence of Schick is a massive loss for the visitors as he is their main goal-scoring threat. Bayern Munich are still a stronger side and should win this one.
