In the sixth round of the Bundesliga the Bayern Munich has the clear and only chance of being able to extend its lead on the reigning German champions, Bayer Leverkusen, after yesterday’s draw against newly promoted Kiel. However, in the path of the Bavarian battleship there is Eintracht Frankfurt who is pushing hard at the start of the season and is only one point away.
The most important choice of the coach, Vincent Kompany, is the ownership of Muller in the attacking midfield made up of Gnabry and Olise. Palhinha, Goretzka and Sané are out. Kim, ex Napoli, was also present from the start. Musiala is absent from the list of players called up.
The official lineups
Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Guerreiro, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Gnabry, Muller, Olise; Kane. Coach: Kompany.
Eintracht Frankfurt (4-4-2): Santos; Kristensen, Tuta, Koch, Theate; Chaibi, Skhiri, Larson, Knauff; Ekitiké, Marmoush. Coach: Toppmoller.
