Leroy Sane bursts away for Bayern but Timo Hubers cuts out his attempted pass to Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.

Bayern don't properly clear a corner and Jan Thielmann forces a save from Manuel Neuer. Oh actually it turns out it was offside.

At 29 years and 39 days, this is Bayern's oldest starting line-up in a Bundesliga match since 9 March 2019 (a 6-0 home win against Wolfsburg).

Leroy Sane should make it 1-0 to the champions.

He races onto a ball over the top, is one on one, lets it bounce a few times and then tries to lob Marvin Schwabe but he doesn't get the height onto it and the keeper palms it down.

Cologne boot the corner so far up the pitch it ends up at the feet of Manuel Neuer.

Bayern getting a bit more joy now. Leroy Sane slips in a low cross from the left which is well defended to stop it reaching Harry Kane - at the expense of a corner.

First proper chance of the game. Konrad Laimer speeds down the right for Bayern and finds Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. The Cameroonian shuffles one way and the other but then drags his shot wide of the far post.

Good chance for Cologne to attack but Rasmus Carstensen passes the ball to nobody and it rolls behind.

An early Cologne error sees Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting on the ball but the Bayern man can't do anything with it.

Now Kingsley Coman runs a ball out of play.

Under way at the RheinEnergieStadion.

Harry Kane starts for Bayern Munich as you'd expect.

Cologne XI: Schwabe, Carstensen, Hubers, Kilian, Chabot, Ljubicic, Martel, Thielmann, Kainz, Maina, Selke.

Bayern Munich XI: Neuer, Mazraoui, Kim, Upamecano, Laimer, Goretzka, Kimmich, Sane, Choupo-Moting, Coman, Kane.

Bayern Munich have the chance to go top of the Bundesliga tonight with a win.

They are two points behind Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen, who play Werder Bremen tomorrow.

Harry Kane has got off to an electrifying start in Germany.

The England captain has scored 17 goals in his first 11 Bundesliga games - a record both for a new player and for anyone at the start of a season.

Kane is second in the European Golden Shoe race, only behind...

Amahl Pellegrino, an uncapped 33-year-old, who has scored 23 goals in 27 games for Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt this season.

That's right everyone, the international break is over.

Welcome to the first top-level club football in what feels like 100 years.

It's Cologne v Bayern Munich. Sorry, I mean Cologne v Harry Kane's Bayern Munich.
