Aston Villavs.Bayern

The Spaniard has largely named settled sides for the big matches this season, but that had to change recently when John McGinn picked up a hamstring injury.

Leon Bailey was restored to the starting lineup in the Scot's place against Ipswich Town on Sunday, the expectation being that he would retain it versus the Bundesliga giants.

Instead, Jaden Philogene has been selected on the right flank for the West Midlands outfit, his first notable start for the club since returning from Hull City in the summer.

That has proven to be the only alteration to the team that began the game at Portman Road, with Ezri Konsa continuing to be used at right-back.

However, there is a return to the substitutes' bench for Matty Cash, who has been sidelined since August 24 with a hamstring injury.

Does Kane start for Bayern?

Meanwhile, Harry Kane has retained his place in the Bayern Munich starting lineup despite sustaining an ankle knock at the weekend.

The England international needed to be substituted in the 86th minute of the 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, making him a doubt for this encounter.

Nevertheless, he is fit enough to keep his spot in the side as Vincent Kompany makes two changes to the team that started the previous match.

Kingsley Coman has come into the side to replace Jamal Musiala, while Konrad Laimer comes back into the team ahead of Raphael Guerreiro.
