    The Pole has scored 39 goals in 33 games for Bayern this season. He was actually injured when football was suspended but he's fit again now.

    Bayern Munich have scored at least three goals in each of their last five Bundesliga away matches.

    People need to understand that this is how its going to be for at least the next 6 months. For me this is a darn sight better than no football at all. No fans. Deal with it.

    Union Berlin v Bayern Munich (17:00 BST)

    Union Berlin are in their first ever season in the Bundesliga. But sitting more than six points away from the European places or relegation spots, they are likely to have a stress-free end of the season.

    Find out more about the club from the Football Focus feature which was done a few months ago in simpler times.

    Union Berlin v Bayern Munich (17:00 BST)

    Bayern Munich are bidding for their EIGHTH Bundesliga title in a row.

    Back-to-back defeats in late November/early December left Bayern in seventh, seven points off top - but 10 wins and a draw in their past 11 league games under manager Hansi Flick have seen them soar to the top.

    Borussia Dortmund whacked Schalke 4-0 yesterday to close the gap to one point.

    Usually we'd tell you how many changes both sides have made since their last game, but that doesn't really matter today, does it?

  14. What was it like at a game?published at 16:39 British Summer Time 17 May 2020

    German football journalist Constantin Eckner attended Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Monchengladbach yesterday.

    In an article for BBC Sport he described his experience.

    "Journalists had permission to only go to section two, the stands. We were expected to arrive at the stadium more than 90 minutes before kick-off to get through a security check while already wearing a mask.

    "Approaching Frankfurt's Commerzbank Arena, it was noticeable how uncommonly quiet it was. Usually 90 minutes before a match, the car park would already be filling up, with people swarming towards the entries. Not this time.

    "The atmosphere was chastened, with everyone keeping their mouths under face masks and obeying physical distancing rules. There was no chatting or joking with the security personnel. Instead, everyone that wanted to enter the stadium acted seriously, realising how surreal the situation was.

    "The empty stands made for a sorry sight while music was being played over the loudspeakers for whatever reason."

  15. What did we learn yesterday?published at 16:33 British Summer Time 17 May 2020

    The German Bundesliga restarted on Saturday and gave a glimpse into what the Premier League and other top leagues may look like if they return.

    Fans weren't allowed into the games, ball-boys disinfected the footballs, substitutes sat apart and wore masks, goals were mostly celebrated without the usual embraces and even post-match interviews were done from a distance.
