Leipzig get this Bundesliga top two clash underway!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this Bundesliga match between Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena, Munich.

Despite having won their last six league games, Hans-Dieter Flick's men still have Leipzig right behind them. Leipzig are just a point behind Bayern in second and would leapfrog them with a win here. With the league's two highest scorers this season Robert Lewandowski and Timo Werner facing off, there are sure to be goals in this one.

We're no clearer as to who will win the Bundesliga title this season then. Let's hope the intrigue carries on for at least a few more weeks yet. That's all for now. Goodbye!
