Douglas Costa has been named on the Bayern Munich bench for the Bundesliga meeting with Werder Bremen.

Bayern boss Pep Guardiola may have one eye on the midweek Champions League clash with Arsenal after leaving Costa out of the side, but most of his regular starters are included in the lineup.

The in-form Robert Lewandowski leads the line with Thomas Muller, while Arturo Vidal, Thiago Alcantara and Xabi Alonso all start in midfield.

Arjen Robben is not involved for the visitors, despite returning to training with his teammates earlier in the week.

Werder start the day just three points off the bottom of the table, and they line up with a front two of Anthony Ujah and Melvyn Lorenzen.

There is no place in the side for Claudio Pizarro, who starts on the bench against his former side.

Werder Bremen: Wiedwald, Gebre Selassie, Lukimya, Galvez, S.Garcia, Bargfrede, Fritz, Junuzovic, Bartels, Lorenzen, Ujah

Bayern Munich: Neuer, Rafinha, Boateng, Alaba, Bernat, Lahm, Alonso, Vidal, Thiago, Müller, Lewandowski
Subs: Ulreich, Martinez, Costa, Kirchhoff, Gaudino, Kimmich, Pantovic
