Bayern Munich predicted lineup vs Koln - Bundesliga

Bayern Munich will be looking to atone for last weekend's shock home defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach when they visit Koln in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Bayern's lead at the top of the table was cut to six points in the process, although a bigger concern for Julian Nagelsmann has been the Covid-19 outbreak at the club.

The German welcomed back several of his missing stars to training this week and he will hope to have a stronger pool of players to choose from this weekend.

Here's how Bayern could line up.
