Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka were the holding midfield duo, with Michael Olise, Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané, and Harry Kane making up the forward line.
The changes made by Head Coach Vincent Kompany included Neuer coming in for Daniel Peretz in goal, Dier replacing the suspended Dayot Upamecano and Müller coming in for Jamal Musiala, who was struggling with illness.
