The lineups are out! The projected starting lineup is pretty good. Thomas Müller returns to replace the ill Jamal Musiala, while Aleksandar Pavlović sits on the bench.

Bayern Munich is back and traveling to northwest Germany to play against the bogeyman itself: Borussia Mönchengladbach. Getting a result away from home in Gladbach is easier said than done and with a few injuries to his men, Vincent Kompany will have a mountain to climb. Only time will tell if he is up to the challenge.

Bayern are in first place with a record of 11-3-1 (36 points), while Gladbach are in eighth place with a record of 7-3-5 (24 points). Will Kompany break the “Gladbach curse” for the first time or follow in the footsteps of his predecessors?
