That means that coach Vincent Kompany changed the lineup of the previous game in three positions. As expected, Neuer regained his fitness to return to goal for Sven Ulreich. Beyond that, Guerreiro and Gnabry replaced Konrad Laimer and Kingsley Coman respectively.

Kompany has yet to play the same lineup in consecutive matches, but he also does not do extreme rotation from game to game either.
Bayern Munich Recent Form and Tactics
The draw against Leverkusen was the first blemish on what had been a perfect season in terms of results up to that point. The team did everything right except they should have defended better on the goal they conceded and they should have scored more goals. The second point is somewhat ironic, given that they had netted 20 times in the previous three matches combined.
Overall, there is no need to make dramatic changes after the first dropped points of the season. Leverkusen are a very good side, though they did little to show that on Saturday. Bayern will look to dominate Villa while being more clinical in front of goal.
Bayern Munich Injuries to Consider
Sacha Boey, Josip Stanisic, Hiroki Ito, and backup keeper Daniel Peretz all remain out, while Kane, who received a knock at the end of the Leverkusen match, should be fit to start.
