"The team that played against Köln is near enough the champagne XI, bar Jonas Urbig who deputized for Manuel Neuer in the Pokal owing to his suspension. With that said, here's how Bayern could line up against Leverkusen. Bog standard best possible starting XI. Manuel Neuer in goal; Konrad Laimer, Jonathan Tah, Dayot Upamecano, and Sacha Boey in defense; Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović in the pivot; and Luis Díaz, Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise supporting Harry Kane up front."
"Bayern Munich made light work of FC Köln in the DFB-Pokal, winning 4-1 to be the outright benchmark for best start to the season since the 1992/93 team of AC Milan. Up next is a Bundesliga showdown against Bayer Leverkusen. Although the latter has started their season roughly, they seem to have sorted themselves out. Bayern has won all their matches so far this season and they're definitely in no mood to give up three points, so they'll aim for a win here."
Bayern Munich defeated FC Köln 4-1 in the DFB-Pokal and currently hold the best start to a season since AC Milan in 1992/93. A Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen follows, with Leverkusen appearing to have steadied after a rough start. Bayern have won every match so far and will prioritize securing three points. Manuel Neuer is expected back after a suspension saw Jonas Urbig deputize. The likely lineup features Laimer, Tah, Upamecano, Boey in defense; Kimmich and Pavlović in midfield; Díaz, Gnabry, Olise supporting Harry Kane. There are concerns about overusing key attackers ahead of November fixtures versus PSG and Arsenal.
