45' + 2' HALF TIME: Bayern Munich 4-0 Stuttgart
45' Two minutes of stoppage time are added.
43' Lewandowski puts in a heavy challenge on Kempf who'll require treatment.
41' Stuttgart will be bitterly disappointed with this half - especially after it started so promisingly. Bayern have sliced through them with 10 men, and look hungry for even more goals.
33' Bayern are pushing for a fourth as Sane scoops a cross into Lewandowski, who can't quite engineer the space to shoot.
31' Bayern's attack had netted 74 goals prior to this game, and their fierce form is continuing with this first half display.
29' Sane's cross deflects safely into the gloves of Kobel.
27' Stuttgart look rattled currently, but they do manage to force a corner, although it amounts to nothing.
25' Well, that was a spectacular five-minute burst from Bayern! After going down to ten men, they looked vulnerable - but the hosts have responded with an emphatic spell of clinical, attacking football.
19' That's a huge moment for Bayern. It would have been easy to retreat into a defensive shape after losing a man, but they reacted with intent and now the 10 men have a lead to defend!
16' Well, Stuttgart will be pleased with this start! They've put Bayern under pressure from the first minute and with the hosts down to 10 men now, they'll be hoping to pull off a statement victory.
14' Chance for Kalajdzic! Sosa whips in a dangerous delivery and it's met by Kalajdzic who can only glance his header straight at Neuer from close range!
11' Davies is booked for a raking challenge down Endo's calf. However, the foul did look dangerous and VAR is going to evaluate the decision.
11' Chance for Stuttgart! Wamangituka beats Davies and gets deep inside the box, but Kalajdzic can't quite control his cut back and the hosts recover to clear it!
9' Muller returns a first-time pass back into Goretzka, who rushes into the box before skewing a shot comfortably wide from 18 yards.
7' Ahamada angles a low effort from 30 yards, but it trickles harmlessly wide.
6' Stuttgart have made an excellent start so far. They've shown plenty of intent and they've pinned the hosts deep inside their own half.
4' Castro lets fly from 25 yards, but his shot deflects off Boateng and away for a corner that amounts to nothing.
2' Wamangituka races to the byline before hammering a low cross into the six-yard box that narrowly evades Coulibaly.
1' Bayern get the first half underway.
The players are emerging from the tunnel and kick off is just seconds away!
Stuttgart will sense vulnerabilities in the hosts today, though. Bayern have conceded a goal in each of their last nine Bundesliga home games (last happened in 2018) – they last waited longer for a clean sheet at home in 2008 under Jürgen Klinsmann (12 straight games).
Stuttgart also make two changes after defeating Hoffenheim: Ahamada replaces Mangala, while Forster makes way for Coulibaly.
Bayern make two changes to the side that beat Lazio 2-1 during the week: Hernandez and Joshua Kimmich are replaced by Sule and Davies.
SUBS: Nicolas Gonzalez, Roberto Massimo, Mateo Klimowicz, Daniel Didavi, Philipp Forster, Philipp Klement, Pascal Stenzel, Atakan Karazor, Fabian Bredlow.
