Bayern Munich will face a stern task on Sunday when they travel to face a confident Bayer Leverkusen side.
The Bavarian giants are top of the table with 16 points and had their nine-game winning run ended when they fell 2-1 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Leverkusen are tied with Bayern, but are behind by goal difference and have won five in a row after they beat Arminia Bielefeld 4-0.
Bayern have won four in a row against Sunday’s opposition including a recent 2-0 win last season.
The hosts are missing Mitchell Bakker, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Julian Baumgartlinger.
Bayern will be without Corentin Tolisso who is the lone injury coming into the game.
Kickoff is at 9:30 a.m. EDT. on Sunday morning at the BayArena. The game will be shown in Canada on Sportsnet World.
