Chelsea vs Bayern Munich Confirmed Lineups for UCL Tie
Chelsea Team News
Rob Sanchez starts in goal with Malo Gusto, Tosin Adarabioyo, Trevoh Chalobah and Marc Cucurella. Reece James is in midfield with Moises Caicedo as Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer, and Pedro Neto support Joao Pedro up front.
Notable Changes
Palmer, James, and Gusto return to the starting eleven as the team employs a new look pivot. This will likely see Enzo as one AM with Palmer cutting inside as the second one as Gusto overlaps. This is a similar idea to the one used to great effect against Paris Saint-Germain.
Bayern Munich Team News
Manuel Neuer is in goal with a back line of Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Josup Stanisic, and Konrad Laimer. Joshua Kimmich is with Aleksander Pavlovic as the pivot with Serge Gnabry, Luis Diaz, and Michael Olise supporting Harry Kane up front.
Notable Changes
Very few changes from Vincent Kompany as he sticks with what has worked. Leon Goretzka for Pavlovic is the only real change from the norm.
