Poland will be without right-back Matty Cash due to injury, with Bartosz Bereszynski expected to start as a result, while Jakub Kiwior who made his international debut against Netherlands in the reverse fixture could keep his place at centre-back ahead of 96-cap Kamil Glik.
Michniewicz could revert back to a 4-2-3-1 formation after using a 5-3-2 system in their most recent defeat against Belgium, with Karol Linetty set to replace the injured Jacek Goralski in centre-midfield.
Star striker Robert Lewandowski, who has already scored 11 goals in just eight games since joining Barcelona over the summer, is expected to lead the line, and support could be provided in attack by wingers Przemyslaw Frankowski and Nicola Zalewski.
As for Netherlands, Van Gaal will be forced to make two changes to his starting lineup as both Hans Hateboer and Noa Lang have not been selected in his 25-man squad.
Either Dumfries or Devyne Rensch is set to replace Hateboer at right wing-back, while midfielder Steven Berghuis could replace Lang, with PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo moving into the front two alongside Memphis Depay.
Virgil van Dijk is expected to start at the centre of a back three, with Matthijs de Ligt and Stefan de Vrij the most likely candidates to join him in defence, while Manchester United's Tyrell Malacia could be rewarded for his strong start at club level with a start at left wing-back ahead of Daley Blind.
Poland possible starting lineup:
Szczesny; Bereszynski, Bednarek, Kiwior, Reca; Krychowiak, Linetty; Frankowski, Zielinski, Zalewski; Lewandowski
