There are still concerns over Sebastien Haller as he has yet to regain full fitness since an ankle problem, but Niclas Fullkrug would have led the line regardless.
Gregor Kobel will start in front of a back four of Julian Ryerson, Mats Hummels, Nico Schlotterbeck and on-loan Chelsea man Ian Maatsen.
Emre Can and Marcel Sabitzer will start in defensive midfield, with Salih Ozcan and Felix Nmecha options off the bench.
