Dortmund captain Marcel Schmelzer crosses and tries to find Adrian Ramos in the centre but Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer holds.

That goal moves Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang level with former Blackburn striker Anthony Modeste, of Cologne, as Bundesliga top scorer with 12.

Robert Lewandowski is almost in at the other end but Dortmund manage to clear. Bayern have responded brightly to conceding.

Bayern are having most of the ball in the early stages but a lot of it is around their defence and midfield. No real chances yet.

Bayern come forward and Robert Lewandowski tries to get on the end of a cross but brings down Sokratis Papastathopoulos in the process. Free out.

A great atmosphere in Dortmund for one of the top European club fixtures of recent years. This should be a good one.

Bayern Munich win a free-kick within 12 seconds. But Xabi Alonso's cross is cleared.

We are under way at a loud Westfalenstadion.

It's almost time to go. Can Dortmund win to move to within three points of Bayern? Or will Bayern go back above RB Leipzig at the top?

Who are we backing for this game? Can Mario Gotze prove the difference against his old side having gone back and forth between them? Or will Robert Lewandowski be key for Bayern?

Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel: "It is a good opportunity for us to surpass ourselves.

"It is football, anything is possible. We are going through a phase during which many things simply are not going our way, and there is much we need to work on.

"[It is] no bad thing in a game against Bayern Munich that we do not simply take to the field in a purely technical or tactical manner. 

"There is a third plane on which we must fight. We need passion, aggression when defending, a proactive attitude, and we must be brave. 

"That is key in this game, and that will get the viewing public on our side. In this way, we will be able to give as good as we get technically and tactically."

Mario Gotze starts for Borussia Dortmund against his old club.  Full-back Erik Durm is on the bench and could make his first appearance of the season following injury. Marco Reus is out.

Franck Ribery returns from eight games out for Bayern Munich but Arjen Robben misses out.

Borussia Dortmund: Burki, Bartra, Gotze, Aubameyang, Ramos, Schurrle, Sokratis, Piszczek, Ginter, Schmelzer, Weigl. Subs: Weidenfeller, Dembele, Sahin, Pulisic, Kagawa, Castro, Durm.

Bayern Munich: Neuer, Lahm, Boateng, Hummels, Alaba, Thiago, Alonso, Kimmich, Muller, Lewandowski, Ribery. Subs: Ulreich, Costa, Rafinha, Bernat, Badstuber, Sanches, Green

Bayern Munich will take their place at the top of the Bundesliga if they win today. There is an unfamiliar name at the top of the pile at the moment - RB Leipzig, who beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 last night.

Dortmund, who have won only one of their last five league games, are fifth. A win today would take them to within three points of Bayern though.

No rest for the wicked and we immediately turn our attentions to another huge game on the continent - Der Klassiker.

Malaga were furious that four minutes of injury time became almost eight minutes. But they did have two players go down injured and make a substitution. Not sure they had any moral high ground. Anyway, all's well that ends well (for them).

NINE-man Malaga hold on for a point after withstanding constant Barcelona pressure. It got really tense at the end. The champions miss the chance to go top.

Chaos. Malaga are down to nine men - Juan Carlos is sent off. For dissent maybe

Barca have a last-minute corner.

Carlos Kameni makes another brilliant save from Andre Gomes, I think. We're well become the added time.
