The big match is about to kick off. Vincent Kompany has made three changes from the shaky Champions League performance against Stavanger. Jonathan Tah makes way for Dayot Upamecano, Pavlovic starts in place of Tom Bischof, and Ismael Saibari replaces Lennart Karl. Urbig also continues to deputize for the injured Neuer.
There was a huge surprise in the visitors' lineup, however. Lukas Klostermann is back in the starting XI for the first time in months—and against Bayern Munich, of all teams.
The 30-year-old has made just one brief appearance this season and played a total of only 95 minutes in the Bundesliga last season.
