FC Schalke vs Bayern Munich predicted XI: One job only
By Josh Sippie
Defense
Say what you want about the attack against Monchengladbach next week, but someone had to keep the opposition out, and this defense did a tremendous job at doing so. Thankfully, David Wagner doesn’t have to change anything. There was talk that Ozan Kabak may be dealing with an injury (please no…) but even if the worse does come to pass, that would just mean a dynamic debut for Jean-Clair Todibo.

I don’t know about you, but I’m so down with our new arrival shutting down Robert Lewandowski. So down.
Let’s assume that Kabak will be healthy to play though. He will line up next to Matija Nastasic, who could be so, so good if he could just stay healthy. We will see just how good against Bayern Munich, and we’re going to like what we see.
On the outside, the tried and true combination of Jonjoe Kenny and Bastian Ozcipka will live to fight another day. They’ve been tremendous thus far and there’s no point in breaking them up.
Onwards and upwards to this midfield.
