    Bayern Munich 0-0 RB Leipzig

    England manager Gareth Southgate is in the crowd.

    No doubt he's here to watch Three Lions captain Harry Kane.

    He could also be taking a look at Eric Dier, I suppose.

    Benjamin Henrichs is down after a collision with Eric Dier.

    Looks like he has suffered a dead leg.

    Great ball from Luis Openda to try and find Benjamin Sesko.

    Sesko can't get to the ball in time and he would have been offside if he did.

    Bayern Munich 0-0 RB Leipzig

    Luis Openda is caught by Aleksandar Pavlovic's elbow.

    RB Leipzig have a free-kick but they give it away cheaply and Bayern are back in possession.

    Bayern Munich 0-0 RB Leipzig

    Bayern have had 62% possession so far but they are yet to make it count.

  6. Postpublished at 17:56 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Bayern Munich 0-0 RB Leipzig

    Dani Olmo was down briefly for RB Leipzig but he is back on his feet and able to continue.

    Bayern Munich 0-0 RB Leipzig

    Luis Openda uses his pace to get past Joshua Kimmich but he loses his footing in the box at the vital moment.

    Thomas Tuchel is watching the action while sat on a box on the touchline a la Marcelo Bielsa.

    I doubt he'll be happy with what he has seen from his side so far.

    Some good passing on the edge of the box from Bayern, then the cross comes in and the Leipzig defence clear.

  10. Postpublished at 17:46 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Bayern Munich 0-0 RB Leipzig

    It's a must-win game for Bayern.

    The only chance they have created so far is the header from Harry Kane.

    Jamal Musiala is about to let fly from the edge of the area but the Leipzig defence are very quick to crowd him out and stop the shot.

  12. Postpublished at 17:39 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February

    Bayern Munich 0-0 RB Leipzig

    Harry Kane tops the scoring charts with 25 Bundesliga goals.

    Not bad for his debut season in the competition.

    Harry Kane almost opens the scoring for Bayern!

    His header is pushed onto the post by Janis Blaswich who gathers before Kane can pounce on the rebound.

    Dani Olmo has the first shot in anger as Bayern give the ball away early on. Not the best start from the hosts.

    Today's game against Leipzig will be Bayern's 1,000th home game in Bundesliga history - the first side ever to accomplish this feat (W743, D166, L90).

    Leipzig XI: Blaswich, Raum, Orban, Simakan, Henrichs, Schlager, Haidara, Simons, Olmo, Openda, Sesko.

    Hello and welcome to our coverage of Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig.

    This is Bayern's first match since it was announced that manager Thomas Tuchel will leave the club at the end of the season.

    Can they claw back some ground at the top and reduce Bayer Leverkusen's lead to eight points?

    Or will RB Leipzig win and move above Borussia Dortmund into fourth place in the table?
