Overview
- Kick-off is 8pm UK on Wednesday, September 17, with live coverage on TNT Sports 2 and streaming via discovery+ in the UK.
- Vincent Kompany’s side have opened the Bundesliga with three wins, 14 goals scored and two conceded, with Harry Kane in early scoring form.
- Bayern are without Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito and Raphaël Guerreiro, leaving a shortage of natural left-backs.
- Chelsea travel without Liam Delap and are expected to miss Romeo Lavia, Benoît Badiashile and Dario Essugo, with Cole Palmer available after a recent return and Estevao a doubt.
- Nicolas Jackson’s deadline‑day loan from Chelsea to Bayern was completed and he is eligible to face his parent club, as betting markets broadly price Bayern odds-on at home.
