Team News: Robert Lewandowski starts for Bayern Munich against SC Paderborn

Robert Lewandowski has returned to the Bayern Munich side in one of two changes made by Pep Guardiola for the trip to SC Paderborn in the Bundesliga.

The Polish striker came off the bench in the goalless draw with Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, but he leads the line for the visitors, with Thomas Muller providing support as Bayern look to extend their eight-point advantage at the top of the table.

Mario Gotze and Bastian Schweinsteiger miss out, while Holger Badstuber starts in a move which is likely to see David Alaba partner Xabi Alonso in the centre of midfield.

Paderborn boss Andre Breitenreiter makes one change to his Paderbon side following last week's win over Hannover as Lukas Rupp returns in midfield to replace Mario Vrancic.

Paderborn: Kruse, Heinloth, Rafa Lopez, Hunemeier, Hartherz, Bakalorz, Rupp, Ziegler, Koc, Meha, Kachunga

Bayern: Neuer, Rafinha, Boateng, Badstuber, Bernat, Alonso, Alaba, Robben, Muller, Ribery, Lewandowski
