Here is a look at the possible lineups for Bayern Munich vs Schalke from the big German newspapers. With Thiago Alcantara sold to Liverpool, it appears that Joshua Kimmich will move into midfield to partner Leon Goretzka, with French international Benjamin Pavard taking Kimmich’s right back position. The Bayern-S04 game will also be the first one of the new 2020/21 German league season

Bild expected starting lineup Bayern vs Schalke
Apart from the Kimmich and Pavard switches, Bayern also expect Leroy Sane to start on the left wing- a position where they used both Ivan Perisic and Kingsley Coman during the end stages of the Champions League. They also expect the Nicklas Sule David Alaba partnership to continue in the heart of defence, with doubts over Jerome Boateng after his injury in the CL final.
