Predicted Bayern Munich lineup for the away clash against Aston Villa

Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich: Expected starting XI

GK: Manuel Neuer- After playing 90 minutes against Bayer Leverkusen, it does look like Neuer has recovered completely from the minor injury he suffered against Dinamo Zagreb. Die Roten will need Neuer to be at his best at Villa Park to get all three points.

RB: Konrad Laimer- Kompany has been making changes in the right-back position every game. Since Raphaël Guerreiro started against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, Konrad Laimer may get the opportunity against Aston Villa.

CB: Dayot Upamecano- There will be no change in the heart of defense. Dayot Upamecano will look to build on his recent good run of form with a commanding performance away from home in the Champions League.

CB: Kim Min-jae- With Kompany not a big fan of rotating center-backs, Kim Min-jae will continue to start for Bayern. The South Korean defender is getting better with each game.

LB: Alphonso Davies- There is no major selection headache in the left-back position since Alphonso Davies has been doing well over the last three weeks. The Canadian is on track to regain his best form after a tumultuous 12 months due to speculation about his future in Munich.
