CSKA Moscow (0-0-1) were thumped in their UEFA Champions League opener in Roma against AS Roma, and they will be hoping to get off to a better start against the visiting German side.

Rasmus Elm and Vitinho will be out through injury while Aleksandrs Cauna is a game time decision. Elsewhere both Alan Dzegoev and Pontus Wernbloom remain suspended.

Bayern Munich (1-0-0) were given all three points against Manchester City in their opener thanks to a late strike from defender Jerome Boateng. However, the German defender is a doubt as is Franck Ribery.

While Dante and Mehdi Benatia are both likely to have a place in the first team from the whistle, Bayern will be without Holger Badstuber, Javi Martinez, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thiago Alcantara.

Projected Lineups

CSKA XI: Akinfeev: Fernandes, Ignashevitech, Berezoutski, Schennikov; Milanov, Natkho; Tosic, Eremenko, Musa; Doumbia.

Bayern XI: Neuer: Benatia, Dante, Alaba; Robben, Lahm, Alonso, Gotze, Bernat; Muller, Lewandowski.
