Bayer Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich: Neuer ready for 'aggressive' challenge

Bayern Munich has a poor record away to Bayer Leverksuen and Manuel Neuer is fired up to end that run in Saturday's Bundesliga clash.

Manuel Neuer is ready to face an "aggressive" Bayer Leverkusen side as Bayern Munich look to end a disappointing run of results at the BayArena on Saturday.

A 2-1 Bundesliga victory in March 2013 was the champion's only win in its last eight away games against Leverkusen in all competitions.

Bayern's preparations for the clash have been overshadowed by off-the-field news, with confirmation that Pep Guardiola will join Manchester City next season and media allegations concerning the behavior of Arturo Vidal - which prompted the Chile international to threaten legal action - stealing the headlines, along with claims of a dressing-room 'mole' unsettling the squad.
