Werder are not sitting back and threatening when they go forward.

Wing-back Theodor Gebre Selassie makes a good run down the right, cutting in onto his left peg but curling a weak shot straight at Manuel Neuer.

Going to need something special to beat the Bayern goalkeeper from there.

Bayern are pushing for the ball high up the field.

Full-back turned central midfielder Joshua Kimmich slides an inch-perfect pass through to Kingsley Coman down the right edge of the area, but the French World Cup winner strangles a shot horribly wide.

Lovely football...from hosts Werder Bremen.

The green and whites work is well, Leonardo Bittencourt shaping a cross to the back post for Theodor Gebre Selassie, who smashes a side-footed volley into the side netting.

That will give the hosts some confidence.

The referee has just barged into a player and hit the deck.

Who's pressing the, 'cheers from the crowd when the ref is down' button?

The Bayern players are lining up.

Speedy Gonzalez Alphonso Davies fizzes a low cross across the six yard box but neither Serge Gnabry nor Kingsley Coman can convert at the far post.

Remember, Robert Lewandowski needs 10 more goals from the last three league games to level Gerd Muller's all-time record of 40 in a Bundesliga campaign.

First sniff already for Robert Lewandowski, looking for his 31st league goal of the season, but his volley from the angle deflects wide.

It's going to be a long evening for those Werder defenders.

Ticker tape, ribbons and celebratory beverages at the ready?

Bayern are potentially 90 minutes away from another Bundesliga title.

Off we go at Weserstadion.

Time is running out for Werder Bremen, second from bottom and three points from safety.

They'll do well to get anything out from the game today having lost their last 18 (EIGHTEEN) meetings against Bayern Munich, including a 6-1 drubbing in the reverse fixture.

German Bundesliga

Impressive Borussia Monchengladbach have just beaten Wolfsburg 3-0 to move up to fourth in the table ahead of Bayer Leverkusen.

There was a Gladbach debut for London-born Keanan Bennetts who was previously at Tottenham.

Former Everton man Davy Klaassen starts for Werder Bremen, while veteran ex-Chelsea and Bayern striker Claudio Pizarro, now 41, is on the bench,

Werder XI: Pavlenka, Gebre Selassie, Moisander, Veljkovic, Friedl, Vogt, Bittencourt, Eggestein, Klaassen, Rashica, Osaka.

If Werder's job wasn't difficult already, Bayern Munich welcome back topscorer Robert Lewandowski and top goal provider Thomas Muller who were both suspended for the last league game.

Javi Martinez is out with flu and Ivan Perisic is carrying a knock.

Bayern XI: Neuer, Pavard, Boateng, Alaba, Davies, Goretzka, Kimmich, Gnabry, Coman, Muller, Lewandowski.
