Bayern have experienced an unusually unsettled start by their own standards, with their 2-2 draw against Augsburg at the weekend leaving them with two dropped-point results in their opening five Bundesliga matches.
Putting that record into perspective, that is as many points as Vincent Kompany's side surrendered across the entire first half of last season.
Meanwhile, a 3-3 draw against Champions League newcomers Viking added to the frustration, as the German champions were unable to turn another high-scoring performance into a victory.
The hosts have nevertheless continued to look dangerous in the final third, scoring a league-high 16 goals across their opening five fixtures and conceding four at the other end.
Kane will be central to Bayern's plans once again, particularly as the England captain approaches his 100th Bundesliga appearance, having established an exceptional scoring record since arriving from Tottenham Hotspur.
Leipzig arrive in Munich in better spirits after defeating PSV 1-0 in midweek in the Champions League.
Martín Demichelis's men have made a productive start in front of goal, registering 15 league strikes in their first five matches, with only Bayern scoring more in the division.
Their recent away results provide cause for concern, with three successive competitive defeats on the road accompanied by nine goals conceded, leaving Demichelis with defensive problems to address before taking his team to the Allianz Arena.
Christopher Nkunku could provide an important source of attacking inspiration for Leipzig after reaching 50 Bundesliga goals with a hat-trick last weekend.

Whispers predicts: Bayern 4-1 Leipzig
Bayern to win at 1.20 (1/5) is a strong favourite selection, while Bayern to score over 2.5 team goals at 1.40 (2/5) is an appealing alternative for those expecting the hosts to make their home advantage count.
Kane to score at 1.36 (9/25) is also worth considering given his outstanding scoring record, while the second half to produce more goals at 1.95 (19/20) offers an option for bettors who expect the match to open up as the teams tire and spaces appear.
A 4-1 Bayern victory at 12.00 (11/1) is a more speculative selection, but it could appeal to those anticipating a dominant home performance in which Leipzig find the net without preventing the champions from securing a convincing win.
