Saibari scored in Bayern's 2-2 draw with Augsburg in the previous round of the German league. He also came on at the start of the second half during last Tuesday's 3-3 draw with Norway's Viking in the Champions League.
The newspaper expects coach Vincent Kompany to field the following line-up:
- Goalkeeper: Jonas Urbig.
- Defence: Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae and Alphonso Davies.
- Midfield: Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Serge Gnabry.
- Attack: Michael Olise, Harry Kane and Luis Diaz.
Bayern sit third in the German league on 11 points from five matches, after three wins and two draws, while Leipzig are fifth on nine points, after three wins and two defeats.
Last season was a mismatch. The Bavarian giants battered Leipzig 6-0 and 5-1 in the league, then knocked them out of the German Cup with a 2-0 win in the quarter-final.
