Team News

Aston Villa
Unai Emery has been without his captain John McGinn for Aston Villa's last two matches due to a hamstring injury, and the Scottish star will now miss Wednesday's game.

Matty Cash (thigh) is also ruled out, while long-term absentees Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara have both returned to full training, but neither is ready to feature for the first team.

With Leon Bailey recently back in the fold, Villa's attacking options are unaffected by absences: Jhon Duran has four goals as a substitute this season and is level with star striker Ollie Watkins - who scored again on Sunday - as Villa's top marksman thus far.

Morgan Rogers created four chances from open play on his Champions League debut - the most by an English player on their first appearance since Danny Welbeck in 2009 - and he netted his first Premier League goal of the season last weekend.
Aston Villa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Onana, Tielemans; Bailey, Rogers, Ramsey; Watkins

Bayern Munich
Meanwhile, Michael Olise has racked up five goals from his last four Bayern Munich matches, while Harry Kane's recent strike against Werder Bremen was his 41st in the Bundesliga, surpassing Jadon Sancho's record as the German top flight's most prolific Englishman.

After causing concern by limping off late on against Leverkusen with an ankle injury, he is expected to start. Kane has been directly involved in seven goals from six previous games at Villa Park, netting the game-winner twice.

Elsewhere, veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer started on Saturday, having overcome a thigh problem; however, Sacha Boey and Josip Stanisic (both knee) and summer signing Hiroki Ito (foot) are still unavailable.
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Neuer; Guerreiro, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Musiala, Gnabry; Kane
Prediction: Aston Villa 1-2 Bayern Munich
