Barcelona
Flick is set to keep faith with Inaki Pena in the Barcelona goal, despite the recent signing of Wojciech Szczesny, both for this game and the upcoming El Clasico, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen out for the season.
Barca were able to welcome Dani Olmo and Gavi back to the matchday squad after injury at the weekend, with the latter getting a brief cameo in the final few minutes.
Frenkie de Jong is also closing in on a full return, as he is yet to start since returning at the beginning of the month, but Marc Bernal is out long-term with a serious knee injury.
The hosts will also be without Ferran Torres due to a hamstring problem, and centre-back pairing Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, so teenager Pau Cubarsi is set to start in another high-profile encounter.
Barcelona possible starting lineup:
Inaki Pena; Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Dani Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
Bayern Munich
Bayern will be without Aleksandar Pavlovic after he broke his collarbone inside the opening five minutes at the weekend, with Joao Palhinha the likely candidate to come into the side.
Raphael Guerreiro has been utilised as a right-back of late, but Konrad Laimer could also come in in that position with Joshua Kimmich likely to remain in the midfield ahead of Leon Goretzka.
Young talent Jamal Musiala will be the big injury absentee for the visitors if he is unable to get over a hip issue in time, while right-back duo Josip Stanisic and Sacha Boey are also currently sidelined, leading to Guerriero's position switch.
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Joao Palhinha; Olise, Muller, Gnabry; Kane
Prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Bayern Munich
