Leverkusen's title win shocked the Bundesliga last season, making their encounters with perennial favourites Bayern must-see TV in German football.

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich's busy match schedule should have no impact on their performance in Saturday's big match at champions Bayer Leverkusen, coach Vincent Kompany said on Friday. Bayern beat Celtic 2-1 in Glasgow on Wednesday in the first leg of their Champions League playoff for a spot in the Round of 16.

Bayern Munich are out to end a winless run against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday and have the chance to go 11 points clear of the champions at the top of the Bundesliga with what would be a statement win.
