Vincent Kompany looks to pick a strong starting lineup for Bayern Munich's clash against Aston Villa.
Bayern's perfect start to the new Bundesliga season was halted in a 1–1 draw vs. reigning German champion Bayer Leverskusen at the Allianz Arena. However, Bayern remains undefeated in the league under new boss Vincent Kompany with four wins and one draw to sit atop the Bundesliga with 13 points.
Kompany would love for his side to put up another dominant performance in the Champions League like it did against Dinamo Zagrebis a much stronger side than Dinamo and will test Bayern's resolve at Villa Park with players like Ollie Watkins, Leon Bailey and John McGinn. Since Bayern has had a few days of rest between its draw vs. Leverkusen and the upcoming European clash, Kompany could look to pick a similar lineup. Komany could be tempted to give players like João Palhinha and Konrad Laimer starts but both players haven't featured much in the early stages of his tenure.–The left-back turned right-back keeps his place in the side as he's key to the team's build-up in possession.
