Bayern Munich will be looking to make it 11 consecutive wins in all competitions when they continue their 2020-21 Bundesliga campaign at home to Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Hansi Flick's side won a crucial encounter with Borussia Dortmund 3-2 prior to the international break, moving three points clear of their rivals in the table in the process as well as remaining two points ahead of RB Leipzig.
After narrowly surviving relegation in a playoff with Heidenheim last season, Bremen have started this season more convincingly, losing only one of seven games and drawing 1-1 four times in a row to occupy a top-half position.
