Frank Ribery has been named on the Bayern Munich bench against Borussia Monchengladbach after almost nine months on the sidelines.
An ankle problem has kept the Frenchman out of action since March, but he is fit enough to be named among the substitutes as Bayern look to extend their unbeaten Bundesliga run.
For the first time in 99 games, Guardiola has decided against making a change to his side as Rafinha keeps his place in the absence of Juan Bernat.
Javi Martinez is in the side once again, while Thomas Muller and Kingsley Coman provide support for Robert Lewandowski.
Gladbach boss Andre Schubert names Thorgan Hazard and Josip Drmic on the bench once again as Raffael is given the responsibility of leading the line for the hosts.
There is also a start for 19-year-old Nico Elvedi in defence as Schubert makes just one change to the side that drew 3-3 with Hoffenheim last week.
Borussia Monchengladbach: Sommer, Korb, Elvedi, Christensen, Wendt, Nordtveit, Dahoud, Xhaka, Johnson, Stindl, Raffael
Subs: Brouwers, Drmic, Hazard, Schulz, Sippel, Jantschke, Hrgota
Bayern Munich: Neuer, Lahm, Boateng, Benatia, Rafinha, Alonso, Martinez, Vidal, Coman, Müller, Lewandowski
