It's new faces ahoy in Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund. The two sides are getting set to start the season proper next week, and they're using the 2012 DFB Supercup to test out some of their new signings. For BVB, it's former Borussia Monchengladbach man Marco Reus who's the big addition -- he'll run the attack now that Shinji Kagawa is at Manchester United.
Bayern, meanwhile, are playing Croatian centre forward Mario Mandzukic in the absence of the injured Mario Gomez. He's not the only unfamiliar face in the starting 11, with Dante filling in at centre back and talented prospect Emre Can getting the start at left back.
Bayern Munich starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; Emre Can, Dante, Jerome Boateng, Philipp Lahm; Toni Kroos, Luis Gustavo; Franck Ribery, Thomas Mueller, Arjen Robben; Mario Mandzukic.
Borussia Dortmund starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Roman Weidenfeller; Marcel Schmelzer, Mats Hummels, Neven Subotic, Lukasz Piszczek; Ilkay Gundogan, Moirtz Leitner; Kevin Grosskreutz, Marco Reus, Jakub Blaszczykowski; Robert Lewandowski.
