Bayern Munich have decided to start with Mario Mandzukic in attack as the German champions travel North to face Nuremberg in the Bundesliga this afternoon.
Munich's lone striker will be supported by the attacking threats of Mario Gotze, Arjen Robben and Thomas Muller.
Pep Guardiola's side have also been boosted by the return of midfielder Javi Martinez, who starts on the bench.
The hosts have put their faith in a front two of Adam Hlousek and Daniel Ginczek, who will be backed up by a four-man midfield consisting of Markus Feulner, Hiroshi Kiyotake, Mike Frantz and Josip Drmic.
Nuremberg: Schafer; Plattenhardt, Chandler, Petrák, Pinola, Feulner, Kiyotake, Frantz, Drmic, Hlousek, Ginczek
Bayern Munich: Neuer; Dante, Alaba, Rafinha, Boateng, Lahm, Thiago, Robben, Gotze, Muller, Mandzukic
