A top of the table clash is on the cards this weekend as Bayer Leverkusen travels to south Germany to take on Bayern Munich.
Bayern has started off the Bundesliga season under new manager Vincent Kompany in style with four wins in four. Star striker Harry Kane has been in fine form with nine goal contributions while the team has managed an impressive 13 goals in its last three league matches, conceding just once vs. Holstein Kiel.
The weekend matchup will be Kompany's first real test since taking charge this summer at the Allianz Arena. After Bayern's 11-year domination in the Bundesliga was snapped last season, fans hope the former Manchester City defender can steer them back in the direction of trophies.
Leverkusen sits on nine points in second place, just three points behind Bayern, in its league defense under Xabi Alonso.
Leverkusen is still very much in the title conversation early on despite suffering its first Bundesliga loss in 35 matches vs. RB Leipzig on Aug. 31. Back-to-back wins against TSG Hoffenheim and VfL Wolfsburg has Alonso's team riding momentum into the match.
