6' Another goal for Lewandowski edges him closer to that all-time Bundesliga record of course. He'll need a few more, but he's getting closer to the magic number.
4' This could very easily become a party for Bayern - they've been know to blow opposition off the park when in the mood - but they are forced back onto the defensive almost from the restart. Lainer lashes an attempt towards goal but it is comfortably wayward in the end.
1' We are underway in this Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach!
The teams have emerged and we are moments away from kick-off.
Since the start of 2011-12, Bayern have lost more Bundesliga games against Gladbach than versus any other side (8). The Foals are the only side that FCB do not have a positive record against in this timeframe (W8, D3, L8).
Subs: Hannes Wolf, Lars Stindl, Jordan Beyer, Oscar Wendt, Patrick Herrmann, Alassane Plea, Christoph Kramer, Tony Jantschke, Tobias Sippel.
BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH (3-4-3): Yann Sommer; Matthias Ginter, Nico Elvedi, Ramy Bensebaini; Stefan Lainer, Denis Zakaria, Florian Neuhaus, Valentino Lazaro; Breel Embolo, Jonas Hofmann, Marcus Thuram.
Subs: Tanguy Kouassi, Bouna Sarr, Marc Roca, Alexander Nubel, Leon Goretzka, Javi Martínez, Serge Gnabry, Niklas Sule, Leroy Sane.
BAYERN MUNICH (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; Benjamin Pavard, Jerome Boateng, Lucas Hernandez, Alphonso Davies; Joshua Kimmich, David Alaba; Kingsley Coman, Thomas Muller, Jamal Musiala; Robert Lewandowski.
There's just two changes from last time out for the hots, with Lucas Hernandez and Jamal Musiala drafted into the starting XI. Jonas Hofmann meanwhile is the only change for the visitors.
Their visitors, Champions League contenders this term, have enjoyed a less illustrious campaign however. Marco Rose's side face a fight to finish in sight of Europe this season - but victory over the champions would be a fine feather in their cap at the tail-end of a tough season.
Today's earlier victory for Borussia Dortmund over RB Leipzig made it a ninth consecutive title for the Bavarian giants, to help cap off Hansi Flick's final month at the helm before he departs. But the treble-winning coach would surely love to see his side mark the occasion with a fine game on home turf.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the 2020-21 Bundesliga season, as newly crowned champions Bayern Munich look to celebrate their triumph in style against Borussia Monchengladbach at Allianz Arena.
