In the top match of the 6th Bundesliga matchday, FC Bayern has to face Eintracht Frankfurt. Here is the probable lineup.

FC Bayern is visiting Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday evening (6.30 pm, live on Sky). After the confident Champions League performance in Cyprus against FC Pafos (5:1), the team coached by Vincent Kompany wants to maintain its clean sheet in the Bundesliga as well.

As usual, captain Manuel Neuer will be in goal. In front of him, a back four is expected to form with Konrad Laimer on the right, Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah in the center, and Raphaël Guerreiro on the left. Guerreiro could start in the Bundesliga for the first time this season, having overcome his abdominal muscle problems.

FC Bayern in Frankfurt again with Gnabry?

In midfield, Kompany is likely to opt for a central pairing of Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic. On the wings, Michael Olise on the right and Luis Diaz on the left should provide pace and creativity. Serge Gnabry could start in the middle, after having to give way to Nicolas Jackson in Cyprus.

Harry Kane will be the center forward. The English striker is currently scoring at will and has already netted ten times in the league.

The probable Bayern starting lineup at a glance: Neuer – Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Guerreiro – Pavlovic, Kimmich – Olise, Gnabry, Diaz – Kane

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said at the press conference before the game that the duel with Eintracht is "dangerous": "They are very, very strong offensively, very impressive." Kompany expects a high-scoring game: "We also score a lot of goals. I don't know who wants to bet on a 0:0."

Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller warned his team not to respect Bayern too much: "At kickoff, it must be gone. Then it's about showing the opponent that they should respect us."

The probable Frankfurt starting lineup at a glance: Kaua Santos – Collins, Koch, Theate, Brown – Knauff, Skhiri, Chaibi, Uzun, Doan – Burkardt
