On the third to last matchday of the Bundesliga, FC Bayern has to submit in the title fight with Borussia Dortmund. Munich are playing at home against the recently strong Schalke 04. Follow the game here in the live ticker.
Thomas Müller returns to the starting XI at FC Bayern Munich. After the captain came on twice as a joker in the Bundesliga, he starts again on Saturday against FC Schalke 04. Leon Goretzka is back in the squad after his yellow card suspension, but is initially only on the bench.
Müller recently had to be satisfied with the role of substitute not only in the Bundesliga but also twice in the Champions League. Trainer Thomas Tuchel had reported good training impressions from Müller, who made a “very fresh” impression.
Compared to the 2-1 win at Werder Bremen last weekend, Tuchel made two changes to the starting XI. Like Müller, Leroy Sané is new to the team, Ryan Gravenberch and Sadio Mané are left out.
At FC Schalke 04, coach Thomas Reis relies on a defensive formation. Danny Latza moves into the team for defensive midfield. Henning Matriciani is missing from the squad. Jere Uronen comes in for him in the first eleven. The Finn starts as a left-back. On the offensive, Michael Frey replaces Simon Terodde.
