Bayern Munich have uncharacteristically named four defenders for tonight's Champions League tie away to Olympiacos.

David Alaba, Philipp Lahm, Jerome Boateng and Juan Bernat all start at the back for the German side.

Olympiacos, meanwhile, have named new signing and former Leicester City player Esteban Cambiasso in the midfield, while Brown Ideye leads the line after arriving from West Bromwich Albion in the summer.
