Bayern Munich will be aiming to remain top of the Bundesliga table ahead of the international break after visiting Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday.

The hosts, meanwhile, could move up to seventh with a victory depending on results elsewhere across the weekend.

Players to watch: Leverkusen goalkeeper Lukáš Hrádecký may be kept busy, especially considering he’s kept just one clean sheet against Bayern throughout his career (W3, D3, L11).

Testing his resolve could be Thomas Müller, who has directly contributed to 18 goals in 28 meetings (G9, A9) versus Leverkusen (W17, D7, L4).

Hot stat: Bayern have scored 25 goals between the 31st minute and half-time, more than double the total of any other side in the division ahead of this round.

Bayer Leverkusen 1-3 Bayern Munich

This should be a hugely entertaining match between two teams containing plenty of attacking firepower. Bayern have only kept two clean sheets in nine league games since returning from the World Cup, so Leverkusen will certainly fancy their chances of scoring.

However, the Bavarians could find themselves back down in second spot if Dortmund beat Koln as expected on Sunday, so they will be doubly determined to secure a victory and head into the international break at the Bundesliga’s summit.
