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.

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

It leaves Leverkusen eight points behind Bayern before it hosts the Bavarian powerhouse for a top-two meeting next Saturday. Leverkusen had been hoping to use that game to cut the gap to three points, but the slip-up at Wolfsburg means it will take an unprecedented collapse from Bayern for Leverkusen to defend its first ever league title.

Champions Bayer Leverkusen will be desperate to narrow the eight-point gap to leaders Bayern Munich when they host the Bavarians on Saturday in a top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash.
