Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has selected Claudio Pizarro to start up front for his side in the DFB-Pokal clash against Hannover.

Neither Franck Ribery nor Arjen Robben start, which means that Thomas Muller and Xherdan Shaqiri are selected on either flank.

For the visitors, Didier Ya Konan is selected up front with Leonardo Bittencourt offering the support from midfield.

Bayern: Neuer; Rafinha, Van Buyten, Dante, Contento; Lahm; Schweinsteiger, Muller, Kroos, Shaqiri; Pizarro

Hannover: Zieler; Sakai, Marcelo, Sane, Pocognoli; Stindl, Andreasen, Prib, Huszti; Bittencourt; Ya Konan
