Tottenham vs Bayern Munich lineups: Confirmed team news and predicted XIs

Tottenham face their second high-profile fixture in a little over 24 hours when they take on Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup Final on Wednesday night.

After beating Juventus and losing to Manchester United in Asia last week, Spurs were 1-0 victors over Real Madrid on Tuesday thanks to Harry Kane's first-half effort.

They now face a quick turnaround for the final, which kicks off at the slightly later time of 7.30pm BST.

Bayern will look to reclaim a title they have won three times since the two-day, biennial competition's inception in 2009 on home soil at the Allianz Arena having demolished Turkish giants Fenerbahce 6-1.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino may be tempted to rotate his side with such a short space between matches against top-tier opposition, though it is worth noting that he made several early second-half substitutions, so it would not be a surprise to see him stick with a similar first-half XI against Bayern.

Dele Alli could come into the starting lineup after his impressive outing from the bench in Munich, while Lucas Moura will also be pushing to start. Heung-min Son and Erik Lamela could be the duo to make way in that instance.

Hugo Lloris played the second half against Real after illness, but Serge Aurier, Eric Dier, Victor Wanyama and Ben Davies are all still unavailable.

Lucas Hernandez remains sidelined for Bayern as he continues to build his fitness following knee surgery, while Thomas Muller - hat-trick hero against Fenerbahce - should start after Serge Gnabry lasted only 20 minutes on Tuesday.

Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka were the only players to feature for the full 90 minutes of that contest, so it stands to reason that they might drop to the bench.

Tottenham vs Bayern Munich predicted lineups

Tottenham XI [4-2-3-1]: Gazzaniga; Foyth, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Winks, Ndombele; Lucas, Eriksen, Dele; Kane

Bayern Munich XI [4-2-3-1]: Neuer; Martinez, Sule, Boateng, Alaba; Thiago, Sanches; Muller, Tolisso, Coman; Lewandowski
