Bayern Munich are back in Bundesliga action this weekend after losing 5-0 in the DFB-Pokal in midweek.

Yep, you read that right.

Bayern really did lose 5-0 to Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday night (and yes, they played a full strength team).

In order to try and forget that game never happened, FC Hollywood will be keen to put Union Berlin to the sword this weekend - and here's the team that'll likely be picked to do it.


1. Goalkeeper & defenders

Manuel Neuer (GK) - Conceded five goals in midweek...which was unusual. Still one of the best around though.

Benjamin Pavard (RB) - A decent option on the right side, but it's pretty clear that Bayern are a better team when Niklas Sule on the right and Lucas Hernandez is playing CB.

Niklas Sule (CB) - Slotting back in at centre-back this week with Hernandez out for...ummm...legal reasons.

Dayot Upamecano (CB) - Has mostly been very good since joining in the summer. Fast becoming the leader of the defence.

Alphonso Davies (LB) - Returned from injury in midweek (probably wished he hadn't), and is a dead cert to start this weekend.

2. Midfielders

Joshua Kimmich (CM) - He might just be the best footballer in the world.

Leon Goretzka (CM) - Played 60 minutes against Gladbach after a spell on the sidelines. Will likely get a few more minutes under his belt against Union Berlin.

Thomas Muller (AM) - Is still racking up assists this season, bagging six so far in all competitions.

3. Forwards

Serge Gnabry (RW) - Has scored six goals in nine league appearances this season. All in, just a very, very good footballer.

Robert Lewandowski (ST) - Speaking of very, very good footballers, Robert Lewandowski is one of the better ones around and will probably score a hat trick this weekend.

Leroy Sane (LW) - Back to his very best this season.
