Dortmund have a full squad available for their trip to Munich apart from Nico Schlotterbeck and Marcel Sabitzer (both knee). Midfielder Pascal Groß is available after serving a suspension in Europe.

Bayern need to keep Leverkusen at bay in the race for the Meisterschale, while Dortmund will need all the points they can muster to reach any European competition, let alone its top table. That this 112th Bundesliga edition of der Klassiker is sandwiched in between Champions League quarterfinal assignments has added another dynamic.
